Question:

AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O . If P be a point on the circle such that $\angle A O P=110^{\circ}$, then the measure of $\angle O B P$ is:

Options:

50°

65°

60°

55°

Correct Answer:

55°

Explanation:

⇒ OA = OP = OB = radius

In \(\Delta \)OPB

⇒ OP = OB

so, \(\Delta \)OPB is an isosceles triangle

⇒ $\angle O P B$ = $\angle O B P$ = x

As, AB is an straight line

⇒ \(\angle\)AOP + \(\angle\)POB = \({180}^\circ\)

⇒ \(\angle\)POB = \({108}^\circ\) - \({110}^\circ\) = \({70}^\circ\)

In \(\Delta \)OPB

⇒ \(\angle\)O + ⇒ \(\angle\)P + ⇒ \(\angle\)B = \({180}^\circ\)

⇒ \({70}^\circ\) + x + x = \({180}^\circ\)

⇒ 2x = \({180}^\circ\) - \({70}^\circ\) = \({110}^\circ\)

x = \({55}^\circ\)

Therefore, $\angle O P B$ is \({55}^\circ\)
