Question:

Two chords AB and CD of a circle with center O intersect at P. If ∠APC = 50°. Then the value of ∠AOC + ∠BOD is ?

 

Options:

80°

100°

120°

150°

Correct Answer:

100°

Explanation:

Let ∠PBC = x and ∠PCB = y

ΔPBC , x + y = 50°

(exterior angle of a triangle is equal to sum of opposite two interior angles)

∠AOC = 2 × ∠ABC = 2x

∠BOD = 2 × ∠BCD = 2y

 So, ∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2 (x + y)  =  2 (50°) = 100°
