In the given figure, if OQ = QR, then the value of m is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We already know that,
Opposite angles of equal sides of a triangle are equal
The sum of the interior opposite angle of a triangle is equal to the exterior angle
We have,
OQ = QR
∠QRO = n
∠POS = m
In Δ QOR
OQ = QR
So, ∠QOR = ∠QRO
= ∠QOR = ∠QRO = n -----(a)
= ∠OQP = ∠QOR + ∠ORQ
= ∠OQP = n + n (from a)
= ∠OQP = 2n -----(b)
In ΔOPQ
OQ = OP (radii of the same circle)
= ∠OQP = ∠OPQ -----(c)
From (2) and (3)
= ∠OPQ = 2n -----(d)
In ΔPOR
= ∠POS = ∠PRO + ∠OPR
= m = 2n + n
= m = 3n
