In fig, if O is center of circle, then ∠AOB will be :(A) 70°(B) 110°(C) 120°(D) 140°

Answer»

Answer is (D) 140°

Join CO

In ∆AOC, AO = CO (Radius of same circle)

⇒ ∠OAC = ∠OCA

∴ ∠OCA = 30°

In ∆OCA

∠AOC + ∠OCA + ∠OAC = 180°

[∵ Sum of all the angles of triangle is 180°]

⇒ ∠AOC + 30° + 30° = 180°

⇒ ∠AOC + 60° = 180°

∴ ∠AOC = 180° – 60° = 120°

Similarly, OB = OC

∠OBC = ∠OCB = 40°

In ∆OBC

∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°

⇒ ∠BOC + 40° + 40° = 180°

∴ ∠BOC = 180° – 80° = 100°

∴ ∠AOB = 360° – (∠AOC + ∠BOC)

= 360° – (120° + 100°)

= 360° – 220°

∠AOB = 140°
