Question:

A, B and C are three points on a circle whose centre is O. If angle BOC is equal to 124°, then what is the value (in degrees) of angle BAC ?

Options:

72

62

66

34

Correct Answer:

62

Explanation:

We have a concept = The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.  

So the angle BAC = \(\frac{124}{2}\) = 62o
