∵ Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∵ ∠ACB = 12 ∠AOB = 12 x 70°
=> ∠ACB = 35°
or ∠OCA = 35°
In ∆OAC,

Solution:
O is the centre of the circle
∠ABD = 35° and ∠B AC = 70°
BOD is the diameter of the circle
∠BAD = 90° (Angle in a semi circle)
But ∠ADB + ∠ABD + ∠BAD = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
=> ∠ADB + 35° + 90° = 180°
=> ∠ADB + 125° = 180°
=> ∠ADB = 180° – 125° = 55°
But ∠ACB = ∠ADB (Angles in the same segment of the circle)
∠ACB = 55° Ans.
Question 5.
Solution:
O is the centre of a circle and ∠ACB = 50°
∴ arc AB subtends ∠ AOB at the centre and ∠ ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠ AOB = 2 ∠ ACB
= 2 x 50° = 100
∴ OA = OB (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA (Angles opposite to equal sides)
Now in ∆ OAB,
∠ OAB + ∠ OBA + ∠ AOB = 180°
=> ∠ OAB + ∠ OAB + ∠ AOB = 180° (∠OAB = ∠OBA)
=> 2 ∠ OAB + 100°= 180°
=> 2 ∠ OAB = 180° – 100° = 80°
=> ∠OAB = 80o2 = 40°
Hence, OAB = 40° Ans.

Ex 11C
Question 1.
Solution:
In cyclic quad. ABCD, ∠ DBC = 60° and ∠BAC = 40°
∴∠ CAD and ∠ CBD are in the same segment of the circle.
∴∠ CAD = ∠ CBD or ∠ DBC
=> ∠ CAD = 60°
∴∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD
= 40° + 60° = 100°
But in cyclic quad. ABCD,
∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
(Sum of opposite angles)
=> 100° + ∠BCD = 180°
=> ∠BCD = 180° – 100°
∴ ∠ BCD = 80°
Hence (i) ∠BCD = 80° and
(ii) ∠CAD = 60° Ans.
Question 2.
Solution:
In the figure, POQ is diameter, PQRS is a cyclic quad, and ∠ PSR =150° In cyclic quad. PQRS.
∠ PSR + ∠PQR = 180°
(Sum of opposite angles)
=> 150° + ∠PQR = 180°
=> ∠PQR = 180°- 150° = 30°
=> ∠PQR =180° – 150° = 30°
Now in ∆ PQR,
∴∠ PRQ = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∴∠ RPQ + ∠PQR = 90°
=> ∠RPQ + 30° = 90°
=> ∠RPQ = 90° – 30° = 60° Ans.
Question 3.
Solution:
In cyclic quad. ABCD,
AB || DC and ∠BAD = 100°
∠ ADC = ∠BAD =180°
(co-interior angles)
=> ∠ ADC + 100° = 180°
=> ∠ADC = 180° – 100° = 80°
∴ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
=> 100° + ∠ BCD = 180°
=> ∠BCD = 180° – 100°
=> ∠BCD = 80°
Similarly ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
=> ∠ABC + 80° = 180°
=> ∠ABC = 180° – 80° = 100°
Hence (i) ∠BCD = 80° (ii) ∠ADC = 80° and (iii) ∠ABC = 100° Ans.
Question 4.

O is the centre of the circle and arc ABC subtends an angle of 130° at the centre i.e. ∠AOC = 130°. AB is produced to P
Reflex ∠AOC = 360° – 130° = 230°
Now, arc AC subtends reflex ∠ AOC at the centre and ∠ ABC at the remaining out of the circle.

Question 5.

In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which BA is produced to F and AE is drawn parallel to CD.
∠ABC = 92° and ∠FAE = 20°
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.


Question 6.
Solution:
In the figure, BD = DC and ∠CBD = 30°
In ∆ BCD,
BD = DC (given)
∠ BCD = ∠ CBD
(Angles opposite to equal sides)
= 30°
But ∠BCD + ∠CBD + ∠BDC = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
=> 30°+ 30°+ ∠BDC = 180°
=> 60°+ ∠BDC = 180°
=> ∠ BDC =180° – 60° = 120°
But ABDC is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠BAC + ∠BDC = 180°
=> ∠BAC + 120°= 180°
=> ∠ BAC = 180° – 120° = 60°
Hence ∠ BAC = 60° Ans.
Question 7.
Solution:
(i) Arc ABC subtends ∠ AOC at the centre , and ∠ ADC at the remaining part of the circle.
∠ AOC = 2 ∠ ADC


Question 8.
Solution:
In the figure, ABC is an equilateral triangle inscribed is a circle
Each angle is of 60°.
∠ BAC = ∠ BDC
(Angles in the same segment)
∠BDC = 60°
BECD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∠BDC + ∠BEC = 180°
(opposite angles of cyclic quad.)
=> 60°+ ∠BEC = 180°
=> ∠BEC = 180° – 60°= 120°
Hence ∠BDC = 60° and ∠BEC = 120° Ans.
Question 9.
Solution:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°
(opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
=> 100°+ ∠BAD = 180°
so ∠BAD = 180° – 100° = 80°
Now in ∆ ABD,
∠BAD + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180° (Angles of a triangle)

=> 80° + 50° + ∠ADB = 180°
=> 130°+ ∠ADB = 180°
=> ∠ADB = 180° – 130° = 50°
Hence, ∠ADB = 50° Ans.
Question 10.
Solution:
Arc BAD subtends ∠ BOD at the centre and ∠BCD at the remaining part of the circle.

Question 11.
Solution:
In ∆ OAB,
OA = OB (radii of the same circle)
∠OAB = ∠OBA = 50°
and Ext ∠BOD = ∠OAB + ∠OBA
=>x° = 50° + 50° – 100°
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
(opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
=> 50°+ y° = 180°
=> y° = 180° – 50° = 130°
Hence x = 100° and y = 130° Ans.
Question 12.
Solution:
Sides AD and AB of cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are produced to E and F respectively.
∠CBF = 130°, ∠CDE = x.
∠CBF + ∠CBA = 180° (Linear pair)
=> 130°+ ∠CBA = 180°
=> ∠CBA = 180° – 130° = 50°
But Ext. ∠ CDE = Interior opp. ∠ CBA (In cyclic quad. ABCD)
=> x = 50° Ans.
