    In the given figure, AOB is the diameter of a circle and CD || AB. If \[\angle BAD={{30}^{o}},\]then \[\angle CAD=\_\_\_\_.\]

    A) \[{{30}^{o}}\]

    B)        \[{{60}^{o}}\]

    C)        \[{{45}^{o}}\]

    D)        \[{{50}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that, \[CD||AB\]and \[\angle BAD={{30}^{o}}.\] \[\because \]AOB is the diameter. \[\therefore \]\[\angle ADB={{90}^{o}}\]            (Angle in semicircles) Now In \[\Delta ADB,\angle DAB\,+\angle ADB+\angle ABD={{180}^{o}}\] \[{{30}^{o}}+{{90}^{o}}+\angle ABD={{180}^{o}}\Rightarrow \angle ABD={{60}^{o}}\] In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, we have \[\angle ABD+\angle ACD={{180}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{60}^{o}}+\angle ACD={{180}^{o}}\Rightarrow \angle ACD={{120}^{o}}\] Also, \[\angle CDA={{30}^{o}}=\angle DAB\](Alternate angles) In \[\Delta CAD,\angle CAD+\angle CDA+\angle ACD={{180}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\angle CAD+{{30}^{o}}+{{120}^{o}}={{180}^{o}}\Rightarrow \angle CAD={{30}^{o}}\]
