This is the basic and conceptual question from Chapter name- circles
Topic – Angle properties of circles
Chapter number- 15
In this question we have been given the figure of circle with certain information about the figure and we have to find the value of angles <ACB, <OBC, <OAB, <CBA

Question 5 (b)
(b) (i)
∠AOB + reflex ∠AOB = 360o
(Angles at the point)
140o + reflex ∠AOB = 360o
Reflex ∠AOB = 360o – 140o = 220o
Now major arc AB subtends ∠AOB + ∠OBC = 360o
50o + 110o + 140o + ∠OBC = 3600
300o + ∠OBC = 3600
∠300o + ∠OBC = 3600
∠OBC = 360o – 300o
∠OBC = 60o
(ii) In Quadrilateral .OACB
∠OAC + ∠ACB + ∠AOB + ∠OBC = 360o
50o + 110o + 140o + ∠OBC = 360o
300o + ∠OBC = 360o
∠OBC = 360o – 300o
∠OBC =60o
(iii) in ∆OAB,
OA = OB
(Radii of the same circle)
∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180o
2 ∠OAB = 180o – 140o = 40o
∠OAB = 40o/2 = 200
But ∠OBC = 60o
∠CBA = ∠OBC – ∠OBA
= 60o – 20o = 40o
