Question:

In the given figure, if OQ = OR then find the ratio of m° : n°?

Options:

1 : 3

3 : 1

1 : 1

3 : 4

Correct Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

In ΔOQR

OQ = QR

∠ORQ = ∠QOR = n°

∠PQO = ∠ORQ + ∠QOR = 2n [exterior angle]

In ΔPOQ

∠OQP = ∠OPQ = 2n (by radius)

now, in ΔPOR

∠POS = ∠ORP  + ∠OPR

m° = n° + 2n° = 3n°

m° : n° = 3n : n = 3 : 1
