Match the following columns:
Column I Column II
(a) Angle in a semicircle measures (p) 40°
(b) In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle. If AOB = 120°, then ∠ACB = ?
(q) 80°
(c) In the given figure, O is the centre of a circle. If POR = 90° and ∠POQ = 110°, then ∠QPR = ?
(r) 90°
(d) In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, it is given that ADC = 130° and AOB is a diameter of the circle through A, B, C and D. Then, ∠BAC = ?
(s) 60°
(a) .....,
(b) .....,
(c) .....,
(d) .....,

(a) Angle in a semicircle measures 90°.
(b) Now, chord AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at a point C of the remaining part of a circle.
      
AOB =2ACB
       ACB=12AOB =12×120°=60°
(c) ∠QOR = {360° - (110° + 90° )} = (360° - 200°) = 160°
    
∠QPR = 12QOR=12×160°=80°
(d) Since ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°  (Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral)
     
⇒ 130° + ∠ABC = 180°
     
∠ABC = (180° - 130°) = 50°
      and ∠ACB = 90°    (Angle in a semicircle)
      In
ΔABC, we have:
      ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180°   (Angle sum property of a triangle)
     
⇒ 50° + 90° + ∠BAC = 180°
      
∠BAC = (180° - 140°) = 40°

Hence, (a) - (r), (b) - (s), (c) - (q) and (d) - (p)
