b + a = 180° ... (2) (Sum of angles on a straight line) the radius)
Adding (1) & (2), 2b = 260° ∠BOA = 180° – (∠OBA + ∠OAB) = 100°
b = 130°, a = 50°
c = a = 50° (Vertically opposite angles)

O Let the centre of circle be O.
Reflex ∠AOC = 2 × 115° = 230°
E D
∴ ∠AOC = 130° similarly ∠BOD = 120°
In ∆ABC,
∠B = 90° (Angles in semicircle) ⇒ ∠OAE = ∠OEA = 25° (Isosceles triangle)
Therefore, ∠ABE = 90 – 65 = 25° and ∠OBD = ∠ODB = 40°
Also, ∠ABE = ∠ACE (Angle subtended by same arc AE)
In ∆APB
Also, ∠ACE = ∠CED [AC ED] x + 40° + x + 25° + 30° = 180°
Therefore, ∠CED = 25° ⇒ 2x = 85°
∴ ∠AOB = 180° – 85° = 95°
3. 1 If y = 10°,
∠BOC = 10° (opposite equal sides)
∠OBA = 20° (external angle of ∆BOC ) 6. 2 ∆ ACB is a right triangle. ∠BAC = ∠CBA = 45°
∠OAB = 20 (opposite equal sides) ⇒ BC = AC = r. So that, BD = 2r.
∠AOD = 30° (external angle of ∆AOC ) Required area = (Area of triangle) – (Area of sector)

And ∠ACT = ∠ABC (Angle in alternate segment)

So ∠ABC = 50

∠BCA = 180° − ( ∠ABC + ∠BAC) D R

∠BAC = 50° + 30° = 80°
