Question:

In the given figure, O is the center of the circle. If AB = OC, then what is the ratio of ∠CAO to the ∠DOC ?

Options:

1 : 4

2 : 7

2 : 5

1 : 3

Correct Answer:

1 : 3

Explanation:

OC = AB

OC = OB  =  r

∠OBC = θ + θ = 2θ    (exterior angle)

∠OBC = ∠OCB = 2θ    (angle opposite to equal side area)

∠BOC = 180° - 4θ

∠DOC = 180° - (180° - 4θ + θ) = 3θ

\(\frac{∠CAO}{∠DOC}\) = \(\frac{θ}{3θ}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
