AOB = 2 APB
         AOB = 2 × 50⁰ = 100⁰
        Again, OA = OB                           [Radius of circle]
        Then  OAB =  OBA                 [Angles opposite to equal sides]
        Let  OAB = m
        In ΔOAB,
        By angle sum property:  OAB+ OBA+ AOB=180⁰
        =>      m + m + 100⁰ = 180⁰
        =>    2m = 180⁰– 100⁰ = 80⁰
                      =
        =>    m =          40⁰

                                  0
                  OAB =  OBA = 40

        Question 2: In figure, it is given that O is the centre of the circle and  AOC = 150⁰. Find
         ABC.
        Solution:















         AOC = 150⁰ (Given)
                                                                                  As The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle
                                                                                 Subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.)

         ABC = (reflex  AOC)/2 …(1)
        We know,  AOC + reflex ( AOC) = 360⁰   [Complete angle]
        150⁰ + reflex  AOC = 360⁰
        or  reflex  AOC = 360⁰−150⁰ = 210⁰
        From (1)
         ABC = 210 ⁰ /2 = 105⁰
        Question 3: In figure, O is the centre of the circle. Find  BAC















        Solution:
        Given:  AOB = 80⁰ and  AOC = 110⁰
        Therefore,  AOB+ AOC+ BOC=360⁰      [Complete    angle]
        Substitute given values,
        80⁰+ 100⁰+  BOC = 360⁰
         BOC = 360⁰– 80⁰ – 110⁰ = 170⁰
        or   BOC = 170⁰
                                                                             As The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle
                                                                                 Subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.)
         BOC = 2 BAC
