SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 58

SSC CGL - 21 April 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

AB is a chord of a circle with centre O. C is a point on the circle in the minor sector. If ∠ABO = 50°, then what is the deree measure of ∠ACB? 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 140°

OA = OB = radius of the circle

∠ABO = ∠BAO = 50°

So, ∠AOB = 180 - (50 + 50) = 80°

Let A and B meet at point D in the major sector

Now, ∠ADB = 80°/2 = 40°

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

So, ∠ACB = 180° - 40° = 140°
