Question:

AB is a diameter of a circle with centre O, and P is a point on the circle. If ∠POA = 130°, then ∠PBO is equal to:

Options:

60°

55°

65°

45°

Correct Answer:

65°

Explanation:

We know that,

∆ POB = ∠P = ∠B ( Isosceles  triangle )

and ∠POA is double of ∠PBO ( external angle property)

So the value of ∠PBO is = \(\frac{130}{2}\)  = 65o
