    In the given figure, angles subtended by chords AC and BC at the centre O of the circle are \[{{55}^{o}}\] and \[{{155}^{o}}\]respectively. Find\[\angle ACB.\]

    A) \[{{150}^{o}}\]

    B)        \[{{75}^{o}}\]

    C)        \[{{62}^{o}}\]

    D)        \[{{60}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, \[\angle AOC={{55}^{o}},\angle BOC={{155}^{o}}\] reflex \[\angle AOB=\angle AOC\,+\,\angle BOC={{55}^{o}}+{{155}^{o}}={{210}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \]\[\angle AOB={{360}^{o}}-{{210}^{o}}={{150}^{o}}\] Since, angle subtended by arc at center is double the angle subtended by it on the remaining part of the circle. \[\therefore \]      \[\angle ACB=\frac{1}{2}\angle AOB={{75}^{o}}\]
