Answer» Thank you sir In ΔOAB,AB = OA = OB (radii)Hence ΔOAB is an equilateral triangleThat is each angle of ΔOAB is 60°∴ ∠AOB = 60°∠AOB = 2∠ACB [Angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it on any part of the circle]Hence∠ACB = 30°In cyclic quadrilateral ADBC∠ADB +∠ACB = 180° (Sum of opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)⇒ ∠ADB = 180° − 30° = 150°Therefore, angle subtended by the chord at a point on the major arc and the minor arc are 30° and 150° respectively |
