SSC CGL - 18 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

In a circle with center O, AOC is the diameter. B is a point on the circumference of the circle such that arc AB is 1/5 of the arc BC. What is the degree measure of ∠BOC?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 150°.

From the given figure,

arc AC = arc AB + arc BC

⇒ arc AC = x + 5x

⇒ arc AC = 6x

So, ∠BOC = 180 × 5/6

⇒ 30 × 5 = 150°
