The chord of a circle is equal to its radius. The angle substended by this chord at the minor arc of the circle is
A. 60°
B. 75°
C. 120°
D. 150°
Let AB be the chord of circle equal to radius r
OA = OB = r (Radii)
Therefore,
OA = OB = AB
OBC is equilateral triangle
Each angle = 60°
Hence,
Angle surrounded by AB at minor arc = (Reflex * ∠AOD)
= (360o – 60o)
= 150o

C. 67°
D. 18°
Given that,

∠SPR = 72°
∠SPQ = ∠QPR + ∠SPR
= 67o + 72o
= 139°
∠SPQ + ∠QRS = 180° (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)
139o + ∠QRS = 180°
∠QRS = 41°
If A, B, C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠AOB=90° and ∠BOC=120°, then ∠ABC=

D. 135°
∠BOC = 120°
∠AOC = ∠AOB + ∠BOC
= 90o + 120o
= 210°
Now,
∠ABC = * (Reflex ∠AOC)
= (360o – 210o)

AB and CD are two parallel chords of a circle with centre O such that AB=6 cm and CD= 12 cm. The chords are on the same side of the centre and the distance between them in 3 cm. The radius of the circle is
A. 6 cm
B. 5 cm

CL = LD = 6 cm
AM = MB = 3 cm
LM = 3 cm (Given)
In COL,
CO2 = OL2 + 62 (i)
In AOM,
AO2 = AM2 + OM2
= ౩2 + (OL + LM)2
= 9 + OL2 + 9 + 6O L
OL2 = AO2 - 18 - 6O L (ii)
Using (ii) in (i),
OL = 3 cm
Putting OL in (i),
AO2 =
AO = 35
In a circle of radius 17 cm, two parallel chords are drawn on opposite side of a diameter. The distance between the chords is 23 cm. If the length of one chord is 16 cm, then the length of the other is
