Question 1.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. ∠OAB and ∠OCB are 30° and 40° respectively. Find ∠AOC. Show your steps of working.

Solution:

In circle with centre O, ∠BAO = 30°, ∠BCO = 40°.
Join BO.
OA = OB = OC (Radii of the circle)
∠OBA = ∠OAB = 30° and ∠OBC = ∠OCB = 40°
∠ABC = 30° + 40° = 70°
Now, AOC is at the centre and ∠ABC is on the remaining part of the circle.
∠AOC = 2 ∠ABC = 2 x 70° = 140°.

Question 2.
In the given figure, ∠BAD = 65°, ∠ABD = 70°, ∠BDC = 45°
(i) Prove that AC is a diameter of the circle.
(ii) Find ∠ACB.

Solution:

(i) In ΔABD
65° + 70° + ∠ADB = 180°
∠ADB = 180° – 65° – 70° = 45°
∠ADC = 45° + 45° = 90°
AC is diameter [Angle in semi circle is 90°]
(ii) ∠ACB = ∠ADB = 45° [angle in same segment]

Question 3.
Given O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOB = 70°. Calculate the value of:
(i) ∠OCA,
(ii) ∠OAC.

Solution:

O is the centre of the circle,
∠AOB = 70°
arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre
and ∠ OCA is at the remaining part of circle
∠AOB = 2 ∠OCA
or ∠OCA = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠AOB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 70° = 35°
In ΔOAC,
OC = OA (Radii of the same circle)
∠OAC = ∠OCA = 35°

Question 4.
In each of the following figures, O is the centre of the circle. Find the values of a, b, and c.

Solution:

(i) Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part
∠AOB = 2 ∠ACB
or ∠ACB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠AOB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 130° = 65°
or b = 65°
But a + b = 180° (Opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
a = 180° – b = 180° – 65° = 115°
a = 115°, b = 65°
(ii) Arc AB subtends ∠ AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part.

Reflex ∠AOB = 2 ∠ACB
or ∠ACB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ (reflex ∠AOB) = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ [360°- 112°]
= $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 248° = 124°
Hence, c = 124°.

Question 5.
In each of the following figures, O is the centre of the circle. Find the value of a, b, c and d.

Solution:
(i) BOD is a diameter

∠BAD = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∠ADB = 180° – (90° + 35°) = 180° – 125° = 55°
But ∠ACB = ∠ADB = 55° (Angles in the same segment)
a = 55°.
(ii) In ΔEBC.

Ext. 120° = 25° + ∠BCE
∠BCE = 120° – 25° = 95°
But ∠ADB = ∠ACB = 95° (Angles in the same segment)
b = 95°.
(iii) Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part,

∠ AOB = 2 ∠ ACB = 2 x 50° = 100°
In ΔAOB,
OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
∠OAB = ∠OBA
But ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180° – 100° = 80°
c = ∠OAB = ~ x 80° = 40°.
(iv) In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle.
AOB is its diameter and ∠ABP = 45°
Q is any point and BQ, PQ are joined

In ΔABP,
∠APB = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∠PAB + ∠PBA = 90°
⇒ ∠PAB + 45° = 90°
⇒ ∠PAB = 90° – 45°
⇒ ∠PAB = 45°
Now ∠PAB = ∠PQB (Angle in the same segment)
BPQB = 45°
⇒ d = 45°

To Prove- D, B, C are in the same straight line.
Construction- Join AB.
Proof- AO1C is diameter.
∠ABC = 90°. (Angle in a semi-circle)
Similarly ∠ABD = 90°,
∠ABC + ∠ABD = 90° + 90° = 180°
DBC is a straight line.
or D, B, C are in the same line.

Question 7.
In the figure given beow, find :
(i) ∠BCD,
(iii) ∠ABC.

Solution:

∠A + ∠C = 180°.
∠C = 180° – ∠A = 180° – 105° = 75°
or ∠BCD = 75°
DC || AB
∠ADC + ∠DAB = 180° (Angles on the same side of the transversal of || lines)
∠ADC = 180° – ∠DAB = 180° – 105° = 75°
But ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
∠ABC = 180° – ∠ADC = 180° – 75° = 105°

Question 8.
In the given figure, O is centre of the circle. If ∠ AOB = 140° and ∠ OAC = 50°; find :
(i) ∠ ACB,

(iv) ∠CBA

Solution:

O is the centre of circle ∠AOB = 140° and ∠OAC = 50°.
AB is joined
Reflex ∠AOB = 360° – 140° = 220°
But ∠ACB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ Reflex ∠AOB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 220° = 110°
∠AOB + ∠OAC + ∠ACB + ∠OBC = 360°
⇒ 140° + 50° + 110° + ∠OBC = 360°
⇒ 300° + ∠OBC = 360°
⇒ ∠OBC = 360° – 300° = 60°
In ∆OAB,
∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°
But ∠OBA = ∠OAB (Angles opposite to equal sides)
140° + ∠OAB + ∠OAB = 180°
2 ∠OAB = 180° – 140° = 40°
∠OAB = $$\frac { 40 }{ 2 }$$ = 20°
∠OAB = ∠OBA = 20°.
⇒ ∠OBC = ∠CBA + ∠ABO
⇒ 60° = ∠CBA + 20°
⇒ ∠CBA = 40°

Question 9.
Calculate :
(i) ∠ CDB,
(ii) ∠ ABC,
(iii) ∠ ACB.

Solution:
∠CDB = ∠BAC (Angles is the same segment) = 49°
∠ABC = ∠ADC (Angles in the same segment) = 43°
and ∠ADB + ∠ACB = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
∠ACB = 180° – ∠ADB = 180° – 92° = 88°.

∠A + ∠C = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
∠C = 180° – ∠A = 180° – 75° = 105° or ∠BCD = 105°
In ΔABD,
⇒ 75° + 58° + ∠ ADB = 180°

⇒ 133° + ∠ADB = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° – 133° = 47°
∠BDC = 77° – ∠ADB = 77° – 47° = 30°
But ∠BCA = ∠BDA (Angles in the same) = 47°

Question 11.
In the following figure, O is centre of the circle and ΔABC is equilateral. Find :
(ii) ∠AEB

Solution:

∠ACB and ∠ADB are in the same segment.
∠ADB = ∠ACB. = 60°. (Angle of an equilateral triangle)
⇒ ∠AEB + 60° = 180°
⇒ ∠AEB = 180° – 60° = 120°.

Question 12.
Given- ∠CAB = 75° and ∠CBA = 50°. Find the value of ∠DAB + ∠ABD

Solution:

In ΔABC, ∠CBA = 50°, ∠CAB = 75°,
∠ACB = 180° – (∠CBA + ∠CAB) = 180° – (50° = 75°) = 180° – 125° = 55°
Bui ∠ADB = ∠ACB = 55° (Angles in the same segment)
Now in ΔABD,
∠DAB + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180°.
⇒ ∠DAB + ∠ABD + 55° = 180°
⇒ ∠DAB + ∠ABD = 180° – 55° = 125°.

In ΔABC,
∠ACB = 90° (angle in semicircle)
∠BAC + ∠CBA = 90°.
∠BAC + 50° = 90°
∠BAC = 90° – 50° = 40°.

Solution:

∠AOC + ∠COB = 180° (Linear pair)
∠COB = 180° – ∠AOC = 180° – 110° = 70°
Arc BC subtends ∠COB at the centre and x at the remaining part of circle

∠AOB = 2 ∠ACB
or ∠ACB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠AOB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 60° = 30°
Now in ΔDBC,
∠DBC + ∠ACB + ∠BDC = 180°
⇒ ∠DBC + 30° + 100° = 180°
⇒ ∠DBC = 180° – 130° = 50°
or ∠OBC = 50°.

Question 16.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which ∠DAC = 27°; ∠DBA = 50° and ∠ADB = 33°. Calculate :

∠ABD + ∠BAD + ∠BDA = 180°.
⇒ 50° + ∠BAD + 33° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD + 83° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD = 180° – 83° = 97°
⇒ 97° + ∠DCB = 180°
⇒ ∠DCB = 180°- 97° = 83°
⇒ ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 97°
⇒ ∠BAC + 27° = 97°

∠CED = 90° (Angle in a semi circle)
In right A CDE,
∠ DCE + ∠ EDC = 90°
⇒ ∠ DCE + 40° = 90°
∠ DCE = 90° – 40° = 50°
In ΔOBC.
Ext. ∠COA = ∠OBC + ∠OCB
⇒ 80° = ∠OBC + 50°
⇒ ∠OBC = 80° – 50° = 30°

(i) Find ∠BCD and ∠BFE
Proof- ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
⇒ 96° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 96° = 84°
Again BCEF is a cyclic quadrilateral,
Ext. ∠BCD = Int. opposite ∠BFE
∠BFE = 84°.
∠BAD + ∠BFE = 96° + 84° = 180°
But these are on same side of the transversal.

DE || BC ….(i)
and ∠AED = ∠C (Corresponding angles)
∠ADE = ∠AED (∠B = ∠C)
AD = AE (Opposite to equafangles)

∠BOD = 2 ∠BAD = 2 x 60° = 120°
In ∆BOD,
∠BOD = 120°
∠OBD + ∠ ODB = 180° – 120° = 60° …. (i)
∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 60° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° – 60° = 120°
In ∆BCD,
∠CBD + ∠CDB + ∠ C = 180°.
∠CBD + ∠CDB + 120° = 180°
∠CBD + ∠CDB = 180° – 120° = 60° ….(ii)

Reflex ∠AOC = 360° – a
Now arc AC subtends reflex ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle
∠ABC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ref. ∠AOC
b = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ (360° – a)
⇒ 2b = 360° – a
⇒ a + 2b = 360° ….(i)
(ii) If OABC is a || gm,
then ∠AOC = ∠ABC
⇒ a = b
Substituting the value of a, in ….(i)
b + 2b = 360°
⇒ 3b = 360°
⇒ b = 120°
But ∠OAB + ∠ABC = 180° (Angles in a || gm)
⇒ ∠OAB + b = 180°
⇒ ∠OAB + 120° = 180°
⇒ ∠OAB = 180° – 120° = 60°.

∠RSM = 90° – 29° = 61°
But ∠RSM + ∠RNM = 180° (Angles in a cyclic quad.)
61° + ∠RNM = 180°
⇒ ∠RNM = 180° – 61 = 119°
NM || RS
∠NMR = ∠MRS = 29° (Alt. angles)
In ∆RNM,
∠NRM + ∠RNM + ∠NMR = 180°
⇒ ∠NRM + 119° + 29° = 180°

∠CAB = ∠CAD + ∠DAB = 90° + 25° = 115°
∠CAB + ∠BDC = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB + ∠BDA + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ 115° + ∠BDA + 25° = 180°
⇒ ∠BDA + 140° = 180°
⇒ ∠BDA = 180° – 140° = 40°
∠AEB and ∠BDA are in tire same segment of a circle

In ∆ABP,
∠APB = 90° (Angle in semi circle)
∠BPQ = 90°.
In ∆PQR,
∠R + ∠Q + ∠RPQ = 180°
⇒ 35° + 25° + ∠RPQ = 180°
⇒ ∠RPQ = 180° – 60° = 120°
⇒ ∠BPR = ∠RPQ – ∠BPQ = 120° – 90° = 30°
In ∆PBR,
∠PBR = 180° – (∠R + ∠BPR) = 180° – (35° + 30°) = 180° – 65° = 115°

In ∆OEB,
Ext. ∠AOE = ∠OBE + ∠OEB
= ∠OBE + ∠OBE (OB = OE) = 2 ∠OBE
2 ∠OBE = 150°
⇒ ∠ OBE = 75°
∠EBC = 180° – 75° = 105°
Now in ∆EBC,
∠CEB + ∠OCE + ∠EBC = 180°
⇒ 51° + ∠OCE + 105° = 180°
⇒ ∠OCE + 156° = 180°

In the figure, given below, P and Q arc the centres of two circles intersecting at B and C. ACD is a straight line. Calculate the numerical value of x.

Solution:

In circle with centre P,
Arc AB subtends ∠APB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∠APB = 2 ∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠APB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 150° = 75°
But ∠ACB + ∠DCB = 180° (Linear pair)
∠DCB = 180° – ∠ACB = 180° – 75° = 105°
In circle with centre O,
Arc BD subtends ∠ BQD at the centre and ∠ DCB at the remaining part of the circle
∠BQD = 2 ∠DCB = 2 x 105° = 210°
But x + ∠BQD = 360° (Angles at a point)
⇒ x + 210° = 360°
⇒ x = 360° – 210° = 150°.

Question 35.
The figure shows two circles which intersect at A and B. The centre of the smaller circle is O and lies on the circumference of the larger circle. Given ∠APB = a°. Calculate, in terms of a°, the value of :
(i) obtuse ∠AOB,
(ii) ∠ACB,

Solution:

Arc AB in small circle subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠APB at the remaining part of the circle.
(i) ∠AOB = 2 ∠APB = 2a° (∠APB = a°)
∠APB = (2a)°
(ii) In larger circle, AOBC is a cyclic quad.
∠AOB + ∠ACB = 180°.
⇒ 2a° + ∠ACB = 180°
∠ACB = 180° – 2a° = (180° – 2a°)
(iii) But ∠ ACB and ∠ ADB are in the same segment
∠ADB = ∠ ACB = (180° – 2a°)

Question 36.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠ABC = 55°. Calculate the values of x and y.

Solution:
In ∆OBC,
OB = OC (radii of the same circle)
∠OBC = ∠BCO or ∠ABC = ∠BCO
∠BCO = ∠ABC = 55°
Now in ∆OBC,
Ext. AOC = ∠OBC + ∠BCO = 55° + 55° = 110°
x = 110°

⇒ y + 55° = 180°
⇒ y = 180° – 55° = 125°

Question 37.
In the given figure, A is the centre of the circle, ABCD is a parallelogram and CDE is a straight line. Prove that: ∠BCD = 2 ∠ABE.

Solution:
Given- A is the centre of the circle and ABCD is a parallelogram.
CDE is a straight line.
To Prove- ∠BCD = 2 ∠ABE.

Proof- AB || DC (opposite sides of a || gm)
∠ABE = ∠BED (Alternate angles) ….(i)
ABCD is a || gm (given)
∠BAD = ∠BCD (opposite angles of a ||gm) ….(ii)
Now arc BD subtends ∠BAD at the centre and ∠BED at the remaining part of the circle
from (i) and (ii)
∠BCD = 2 ∠ABE

Question 38.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB is parallel to DC and AB is a diameter of the circle. Given ∠BED = 65°; calculate :
(i) ∠DAB,
(ii) ∠BDC.

Solution:

∠DAB and ∠BED are in the same segment of the circle.
∠DAB = ∠BED = 65° (∠BED = 65° given)
DC || AB (Given)
∠BDC = ∠DBA (Alternate angles)
AOB is the diameter
∠ADB = 90° (Angle in semi circle)
∠DAB + ∠DBA = 90°
⇒ 65° + ∠DBA = 90°
⇒ ∠DBA = 90° – 65° = 25°
But ∠DBA = ∠BDC (proved)
∠BDC = 25°

Question 39.
In the given figure, AB is a diameter of the circle. Chord ED is parallel to AB and ∠EAB = 63°. Calculate:
(i) ∠EBA,
(ii) ∠BCD.

Solution:

AOB is the diameter,
∠AEB = 90°
and ∠EAB + ∠EBA = 90°
⇒ 63° + ∠EBA = 90°
⇒ ∠EBA = 90° – 63° = 27°
ED || AB (given)
∠DEB = ∠EBA (Alternate angles) = 27°
∠DEB + ∠BCD = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
⇒ 27° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 27° = 153°.

Question 40.
The sides AB and DC of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are produced to meet at E; the sides DA and CB arc produced to meet at F. If ∠BEG = 42° and ∠BAD = 98°; calculate :
(i) ∠AFB,

Solution:

In ∆AED,
⇒ ∠ADE + 42° + 98° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADE + 140° = 180°
⇒ ∠ ADE = 180° – 140° = 40° or ∠ADC = 40°
⇒ 98° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 98° = 82°
Now in ∆FCD,
∠DFC + ∠FDC + ∠FCD = 180°
⇒ ∠AFB + ∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠AFB + 40° + 82° = 180°
⇒ ∠AFB + 122° = 180°
⇒ ∠AFB = 180° – 122° = 58°

Question 41.
In the following figure, AB is a diameter of the circle with centre O. DO is parallel to CB and ∠DCB = 120°. Calculate :
(i) ∠DAB,
(ii) ∠DBA,
(iii) ∠DBC,
(iv) ∠ADC. Also, show that the ∆AOD is an equilateral triangle.

Solution:

(i) ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠DCB + ∠DAB = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠DAB = 180°
∠DAB =180° – 120° = 60°
(ii) AOB is a diameter.
∠ADB = 90° (Angle in a semi circle)
∠ DAB + ∠DBA = 90°
60° + ∠ DBA = 90°
∠DBA = 90° – 60° = 30°
(iii) In ∆OBD,
OD = OB (radii of the same circle)
∠ ODB = ∠ OBD
or ∠ABD = 30° (from ii)
But DO || CB (given)
∠ODB = ∠DBC (Alternate angles)
⇒ 30° = ∠DBC or ∠DBC = 30°
(iv) ∠ABD + ∠DBC = 30° + 30° = 60°
⇒ ∠ABC = 60°
∠ ADC = 180° – 60° = 120°
In ∆AOD,
OA = OD (radii of the same circle)
∠ AOD = ∠ DAO or ∠ DAB = 60° (proved in (i))
∠ADO = ∠AOD = ∠DAO = 60°
∆AOD is an equilateral triangle.

Question 42.
In the given figure, I is the incentre of ∆ABC. BI when produced meets the circum circle of ∆ABC at D.
Given ∠BAC = 55° and ∠ACB = 65°; calculate:
(i) ∠DCA,
(ii) ∠DAC,
(iii) ∠DCI,
(iv) ∠AIC

Solution:

Join AD, DC, AI and Cl,
In ∆ABC,
∠BAC = 55°, ∠ACB = 65°
∠ABC = 180° – (∠BAC + ∠ACB) = 180°- (55° + 65°) = 180° – 120° = 60°
⇒ 60° + ∠ADC = 180°
∠ADC = 180° – 60°= 120°
∠ DAC + ∠ DCA + ∠ ADC = 180°
⇒ ∠ DAC+ ∠ DCA + 120° = 180°
⇒ ∠ DAC+ ∠ DCA = 180° – 120° = 60°
But ∠ DAC = ∠ DCA (I lies on the bisector of ∠ ABC)
∠ DAC = ∠ DCA = 30°
DI is perpendicular bisector of AC
∠ AIC = ∠ ADC= 120°
IC is the bisector of ∠ ACB
∠ ICA = $$\frac { 65 }{ 2 }$$ = 32.5°
∠DCI = ∠DCA + ∠ACI = 30° + 32.5° = 62.5° = (62.5)° = 60° 30′.

Question 43.
A triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle. The bisectors of angles BAC, ABC and ACB meet the circum circle of the triangle at points P, Q and R respectively. Prove that:
(i) ∠ ABC = 2 ∠ APQ,
(ii) ∠ ACB = 2 ∠ APR,
(iii) ∠ QPR = 90° – $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠BAC.

Solution:
Given- ∆ABC is inscribed in a circle. Bisectors of ∠BAC, ∠ABCand ∠ACB meet the circumcircle of the∆ABC at P, Q and R respectively.

To Prove-
(i) ∠ ABC = 2 ∠APQ.
(ii) ∠ ACB = 2 ∠ APR.
(iii) ∠ QPR = 90° – $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠BAC.
Construction-
Join PQ and PR.
Proof- ∠ABQ and ∠APQ are in the same segment of the circle.
∠ ABQ = ∠ APQ
But ∠ ABQ = – ∠ ABC (BQ is the angle bisector of ∠ ABC)
$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ ABC = ∠ APQ
Or ∠ ABC = 2 ∠APQ …,(i)
Similarly, ∠ APR and ∠ ACR are in the same segment of the circle.
∠ APR = ∠ ACR
But ∠ ACR = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ ACB (CR is the angles bisector of ∠ ACB)
$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ ACB = ∠ APR
Or ∠ ACB = 2 ∠ APR ….(ii)
∠ ABC + ∠ ACB = 2 ∠ APQ + 2∠ APR = 2 (∠ APQ + ∠ APR) = 2 ∠ PQR
Or 2 ∠ PQR = ∠ ABC + ∠ ACB
∠ PQR = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ (∠ ABC + ∠ ACB) ….(iii)
But ∠ ABC + ∠ ACB + ∠ BAC = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
∠ ABC + ∠ ACB = 180° – ∠ BAC ….(iv)
from (iii) and (iv) we get,
∠ PQR = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ (180° – ∠ BAC) = 90° – $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ BAC

Question 44.
Calculate the angles x, y and z if :

Solution:

Ext. ∠ ADC = x + z ….(i)
and in ΔBPC,
Ext. ∠ ABC = y + x ….(ii)
(∠ BCP = ∠ DCQ = x vertically opposite angles)

x + z + y + x = ∠ ADC + ∠ ABC.
But ∠ ADC + ∠ ABC = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quad)
2x + y + z = 180°
⇒ 2 x 3k + 4k + 5k = 180°
⇒ 6k + 4k + 5k = 180°
⇒ 15k = 180°
⇒ k = 12°
x = 3k = 3 x 12° = 36°= x = 36°
y = 4k = 4 x 12° = 48°= y = 48°
z = 5k = 5 x 12° = 60° = z = 60°

Question 45.
In the given figure, AB = AC = CD and ∠ADC = 38°. Calculate :
(i) Angle ABC
(ii) Angle BEC [1995]

Solution:
In the figure, AB = AC = CD, ∠ ADC = 38°
BE is joined.
In ΔACD, AC = CD
Ext. ∠ ACB = ∠ CAD + ∠ CDA = 38° + 38° = 76°

But in ΔABC,
AB = AC (given)
∠ ABC = ∠ ACB = 76°
and ∠ BAC =180° – (76° + 76°) = 180° – 152° = 28°

But ∠ BEC = ∠ BAC (Angles in the same segment)
∠BEC = 28°.

Question 46.
In the given figure. AC is the diameter of circle, centre O. Chord BD is perpendicular to AC. Write down the angles p, q and r in terms of x. [1996]

Solution:
Arc subtends ∠ AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∠ AOB = 2 ∠ ACB
⇒ x = 2q ⇒ q = $$\frac { x }{ 2 }$$
But ∠ ADB and ∠ ACB are in the same segment
∠ ADB = ∠ ACB – q
Now in ΔAED,
p + q + 90° = 180° (sum of angles of a Δ)
⇒ p + q = 90°
⇒ p = 90° – q
⇒ p = 90° – $$\frac { x }{ 2 }$$
Arc BC subtends ∠ BOC at the centre and ∠ ADC at the remaining part of the circle
∠BOC = 2 ∠BDC = 2r.
r = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ BOC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ (180° – x)
(∠ AOB + ∠ BOC = 180°)
r = 90° – $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x. = 90° – $$\frac { x }{ 2 }$$

Question 47.
In the given figure, AC is the diameter of the circle with centre O. CD and BE are parallel. Angle ∠ AOB = 80° and ∠ ACE = 10°. Calculate:
(i) Angle BEC,
(ii) Angle BCD,
(iii) Angle CED. [1998]

Solution:
Arc AB subtends ∠ AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∠ ACB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠AOB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 80° = 40°
But ∠ BOC + ∠ AOB = 180° (A linear pair)
∠ BOC + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠ BOC = 180° – 80° = 100°
(i) Arc BC subtends ∠ BOC at the centre and ∠ BEC at the remaining part of the circle
∠ BEC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ BOC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 100° = 50°
(ii) EB || DC
∠ DCE = ∠ BEC (Alternate angles) = 50°
∠ BCD = ∠ BCA + ∠ ACE + ∠ ECD = 40° + 10° + 50° = 100°
∠ BED + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠ BEC + ∠ CED + ∠ BCD = 180°
⇒ 50° + ∠ CED + 100° = 180° (Proved in (i) and (ii))
⇒ ∠ CEb + 150° = 180°
∠ CED = 180° – 150° = 30°.

Question 48.
In the given figure, AE is the diameter of the circle. Write down the numerical value of ∠ ABC + ∠ CDE. Give reasons for your answer. [1998]

Solution:

Join OA, OB, OC, OD.
In ΔOAB,
OA = OB (Radii of the same circle)
∠ 1 = ∠ 2
Similarly we can prove that
∠3 = ∠4,
∠5 = ∠6,
∠7 = ∠8
In A OAB,
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠a = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
Similarly ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠b = 180°
∠5 + ∠6 + ∠c = 180°
∠7 + ∠8 + ∠d = 180°
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 + ∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d = 4 x 180° = 720°
⇒∠2 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠3 + ∠6 + ∠6+ ∠ 7 + ∠7 + ∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d = 720°
⇒ 2 ∠2 + 2 ∠3 + 2 ∠6 + 2 ∠7 + ∠a + ∠ b + ∠ c + ∠ d = 720°
⇒ 2 [∠2 + ∠3] + 2 [∠6 + ∠7| + 180° = 720° ( ∠a + ∠b + ∠c + ∠d = 180°)
⇒ 2 ∠ ABC + 2 ∠ CDE = 720° – 180° = 540°
⇒ 2 (∠ ABC + ∠ CDE) = 540°
⇒ ∠ ABC + ∠ CDE = 270°

Question 49.
In the given figure, AOC is a diameter and AC is parallel to ED. If ∠ CBE = 64°, calculate ∠ DEC. [1991]

Solution:
Join AB.
AOC is the diameter
∠ ABC = 90° (Angle in a semi circle)
⇒ ∠ ABE + ∠ CBE = 90°
⇒ ∠ ABE + 64° = 90°
∠ ABE = 90° – 64° = 26° …(i)
AC || ED
∠ DEC = ∠ ACE (alternate angles)
But ∠ ACE = ∠ ABE (Angles in the same segment)
∠ DEC = ∠ ABE = 26° [from (i)]

Question 50.
Use the given figure to find :
(ii) ∠ DQB. [1987]

Solution:
In ΔAPD,
85° + 40° + ∠ PAD = 180°
∠ PAD = 180° – (85° + 40°) = 180° – 125° = 55° or ∠ BAD = 55°
∠ ADC + ∠ ABC = 180°
85° + ∠ ABC = 180°
∠ ABC = 180° – 85° = 95°
Now, in ΔAQB,
∠ QAB + ∠ ABC + ∠ BQA = 180°
⇒ 55° + 95° + ∠ BQA = 180°
⇒ 150° + ∠ BQA = 180°
⇒ ∠DQB = ∠ BQA = 180° – 150° = 30°

Question 51.
In the given figure, AOB is a diameter and DC is parallel to AB. If ∠ CAB = x°; find (in terms of x) the values of:
(i) ∠ COB,
(ii) ∠DOC,
(iii) ∠DAC,

Solution:
Join CB.
In ΔAOC,
OA = OC (radii of the same circle)
∠ OCA = 4 OAC = x
Ext. ∠ COB = ∠ OAC + ∠ OCA = x + x = 2x
In ΔACB, ∠ ACB = 90° (Angle in semi circle)
∠ OBC = 90° – ∠ OAC = 90° – x
∠ ABC + ∠ ADC = 180°
⇒ (90 – x) + 4 ADC = 180°
∠ADC = 180° – 90° + x = 90° + x
DC || AB
∠ DCO = ∠ COB = 2x (alternate angle)
And ∠ DCA = ∠ CAB = x (alternate angles)
∠ DAC + ∠ DCA + ∠ ADC = 180°
∠ DAC + x + 90 + x = 180°
2x + 90° + ∠ DAC = 180°
∠ DAC = 180° – 90° – 2x = 90° – 2x
In ΔOCD,
∠ DOC + ∠ OCD + ∠ CDO = 180°
∠ DOC + 2x + 2x = 180°
∠ DOC = 180° – 4x
Hence ∠ COB = 2x,
∠ DOC = 180° – 4x
∠ DAC = 90° – 2x
and ∠ ADC = 90° + x

Question 52.
In the given figure, AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O. ∠BCD = 130°. Find :
(i) ∠DAB
(ii) ∠DBA

Solution:
Join DB
(i) ∠DAB + ∠DCB = 180° [Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]
∠DAB = 180° – 130° = 50°

∠ADB = 90° [Angle in a semi-circle is 90°]
So, ∠DBA = 180° – (∠DAB + ∠ADB) = 180° – (50° + 90°) = 40°

Question 53.
In the given figure, PQ is a diameter of the circle whose centre is O. Given ∠ROS = 42°, calculate ∠RTS. [1992]

Solution:
In ΔOPR, OR = OP (radii of the same circle)
∠ OPR = ∠ ORP = x (Say)
∠POR = 180° – 2x
Similarly in ΔOQS,
OS = OQ
∠ OSQ = ∠ SQO = y (say)
∠ SOQ = 180° – 2y
POQ is a straight line,
∠ POR + ∠ ROS + ∠ SOQ = 180°
⇒ 180° – 2x + 42° + 180° – 2y = 180°
⇒ 222° – 2x – 2y = 0
⇒ 2 (x + y) = 222°
x + y = 111° ….(i)
In. ΔPQT,
⇒ ∠P + ∠Q + ∠T = 180°
⇒ ∠ OPR + ∠ SQO + ∠ RTS = 180°
⇒ x + y + ∠RTS = 180°
⇒ ∠ RTS = 180° – (x + y) = 180° – 1110 [From(i)] = 69°

Question 54.
In the given figure, PQ is a diameter. Chord SR is parallel to PQ. Given that ∠ PQR = 58°, Calculate:
(i) ∠RPQ,
(ii) ∠STP. [1989]

Solution:

Join PR,
In ΔPQR,
∠ PRQ = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∠ RPQ + ∠ RQP = 90°
⇒ ∠RPQ + 58° = 90°
⇒ ∠RPQ = 90° – 58° = 32°
SR || PQ (given)
∠ SRP = ∠ RPQ (Alternate angles) = 32° [from(i)]
∠ STP + ∠ SRP = 180°
⇒ ∠STP + 32° = 180°
⇒ ∠STP = 180° – 32° = 148°

Question 55.
AB is the diameter of the circle with centre O. OD is parallel to BC and ∠ AOD = 60°. Calculate the numerical values of: [1987]
(i) ∠ ABD
(ii) ∠ DBC

Solution:

Join BD,
Arc AD, subtends ∠ AOD at the centre and ∠ ABD at the remaining part of the circle
∠ ABD = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ AOD = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 60° = 30°
In ΔOBD,
OB = OD (Radii of the same circle)
∠ ODB = ∠ OBD = ∠ ABD = 30°
OD||BC (given)
∠ ODB = ∠ DBC (Alternate angles)
∠ DBC = ∠ ODB = 30° .
Again OD || BC
∠ AOD = ∠ OBC (Corresponding angles)
⇒ ∠ OBC = ∠ AOD = 60°
∠ ADC+ ∠ ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ ADC + 60° = 180°
⇒ ∠ ADC = 180° – 60° = 120°

Question 56.
In the given figure, the centre O of the small circle lies on the circumference of the bigger circle. If ∠ APB = 75° and ∠ BCD = 40°. find:
(i) ∠AOB,
(ii) ∠ACB,
(iii) ∠ABD,

Solution:

(i) Arc AB of the smaller circle subtends ∠ AOB at the centre and ∠ APB at the remaining part of the circle.
∠ AOB = 2 ∠ APB = 2 x 75° = 150°
(ii) OACB is a cyclic quad.
∠AOB + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 150° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 150° = 30°
(in) Again, ABDC is a cyclic quad,
∠ ABD + ∠ ACD = 180°
⇒ ∠ABD + (30° + 40°) = 180° (∠ ACD = ∠ ACB + ∠ BCD)
⇒ ∠ ABD + 70° = 180°
⇒ ∠ ABD = 180° – 70° = 110°
(iv) ∠ ACB and ∠ADB are in the same segment
∠ ADB = ∠ ACB = 30°

Question 57.
In the given figure, ∠BAD = 65°, ∠ABD = 70° and ∠BDC = 45°. Find :
(i) ∠BCD
(ii) ∠ACB
Hence, show that AC is a diameter.

Solution:
In circle ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral AC andBD are joined.
∠BAD = 65°, ∠ABD = 70° and ∠BDC = 45°
65° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 65° = 115°
Arc AB subtends ∠ABD and ∠ACD in the same segment
∠ACD = ∠ABD = 70° (∠ABD = 70°)
∠ACB = ∠BCD – ∠ACD = 115° – 70° = 45°
But arc AB subtends ∠ADB and ∠ACD in the same segment
Hence AC is the diameter of the circle.
Hence proved.

Question 58.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A : ∠C = 3 : 1 and ∠B : ∠D = 1 : 5; find each angle of the quadrilateral.
Solution:
∠A : ∠C = 3 : 1 and ∠B : ∠D = 1 : 5
Let ∠A = 3x, ∠C = x,
But ∠A + ∠C = 180° (Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ 3x + x = 180°
⇒ 4x = 180°
⇒ x = 45°
∠A = 3x = 3 x 45° = 135°
∠C = x = 45°
∠B = ∠D = 1 : 5
Similarly, Let ∠B = y and ∠D = 5y
But ∠B + ∠D = 180°
y + 5y = 180°
⇒ 6y = 180°
⇒ y = 30°
∠B = y = 30°
and ∠D = 5y = 5 x 30° = 150°
Hence ∠A = 135°, ∠B = 30°, ∠C = 45° and ∠D = 150°
Hence Proved.

∠ABP = 42°.
Join PO, QO
Arc PA subtends ∠POA at the centre and ∠PBA at the remaining part.
∠POA = 2 ∠PBA = 2 x 42° = 84°
But ∠AOP + ∠BOP = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠POA+ ∠POB = 180°
⇒ 84° + ∠POB = 180°
⇒ POB = 180° – 84° = 96°
Similarly, arc BP subtends ∠BOP on the centre and ∠PQB at the remaining part of the circle
∠PQB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠POB = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 96° = 48°
But in ΔPBQ,
∠QPB + ∠PBQ + ∠PQB = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
∠QPB + ∠PBQ + 48° =180°
⇒ ∠QPB + ∠PBQ = 180°
⇒ ∠QPB + ∠PBQ = 180° – 48° = 132
Hence (i) PQB = 48° and
(ii) ∠QPB + ∠PBQ = 132°

Question 60.
In the given figure, M is the centre of the circle. Chords AB and CD are perpendicular to each other.
If ∠MAD = x and ∠BAC = y:

(i) express ∠AMD in terms of x.
(ii) express ∠ABD in terms of y.
(iii) prove that: x = y.
Solution:
In the figure, M is the centre of the circle chords AB and CD are perpendicular to each other at L.
∠MAD = x and ∠BAC = y
(i) In ΔAMD,
AM = DM (Radii of the same circle)
∠MDA = ∠MAD (Angles opposite to equal sides) = x
But, in ΔAMD,
∠MAD + ∠MDA + ∠AMD = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ x + x + ∠AMD = 180°
⇒ 2x + ∠AMD = 180°
⇒ ∠AMD = 180°
∠AMD = 180° – 2x
(ii) Arc AD subtends ∠AMD at the circle and ∠ABD at the remaining part of the circle
∠AMD = 2∠ABD
⇒ ∠ABD = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠ABD = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ [180°- 2x] = 90° – x
AB ⊥s CD
∠ALC = 90°
In ΔALC,
∠LAC + ∠LCA = 90°
⇒ ∠BAC + ∠DAC = 90°
⇒ y = ∠DAC = 90°
⇒ ∠DAC = 90° – y
But ∠DAC ∠ABD (Angles in the same segment)
∠ABD = 90° – y
But ∠ABD = 90° – x, Proved
90°- x = 90°- y
⇒ ∠x = yHence proved.

Question 61.
In a circle, with centre O, a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD is drawn with AB as a diameter of the circle and CD equal to radius of the circle. If AD and BC produced meet at point P; show that ∠APB = 60°.
Solution:
Given : In circle with centre O,
ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral in which CD is equal radius of the circle and AB is diameter.
CD = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ AB
AD and BC are produced to meet at P.
To prove: ∠APB = 60°
Construction : Join DO, CO and PB
In ΔDOC,
DO = CO = DC (Radii of the circle)
ΔDOC is an equilateral triangle
∠DOC = 60° ….(i)
Now, arc DC subtends ∠DOC at the centre arc ∠DBC at the remaining part of the circle
∠DBC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ ∠DOC = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ x 60° = 30° …(ii)
But ∠ADB = 90° (Angle in a semi-circle)
∠PDB = 90° (∠PDB x ∠ADB = 180°, Linear pair)
Now in ΔPDB,
∠PDB = 90° (Proved)
⇒ ∠DPB = ∠DBC = 90°
⇒ ∠DPB + 30° = 90°
⇒ ∠DPB = 90° – 30° = 60°
⇒ APB = 60°
Hence proved.
