Question 3. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral of a circle with center O; DC is extended to point P. If ∠BCP = 108°, let us write by calculating the value of ∠BOD.
Solution: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral with the center of the circle O.
Side DC is produced to P such that BCP = 108°
Find ∠BOD.
∠BCD + BCP = 180°
∠BCD 180°- ∠BCP 180° – 108° = 72°
∠BOD = 2 x <BCD
= 2 x 72° = 144°
& Reflex ∠BOD = 360° – 144°
= 216°.
Question 4. O is the center of the circle; ∠AOD = 40° and ZACB = 35°; let us write by calculating the value of ∠BCO and ∠BOD, and answer with reason.
Solution: O is the center of the circle ∠AOD = 40° & ∠ACB = 35°.
Find ∠BCO & BOD.
Produce CD, which cuts the circle at E.
∠AOE is the angle at the center and ∠ACE is the angle at the circumference on the same arc AE.
Maths WBBSE Class 10 Solutions
∴ ∠ACE = 1/2
AOE = 1/2 x 40° = 20°
Now, ∠BCO = ∠BCA + ∠ACO
= ∠ACB + ∠ACE
= 35° + 20°
= 55°.
Again,∠AOB is the angle at the center & ∠ACB is the angle at the circumference.
∴ ∠AOB = 2 x ∠ACB = 2 x 35° = 70°
∠BOD = ∠AOB+∠AOD
= 70° + 40°
= 110°
∴ ∠BCO = 55°
& BOD = 110°

Question 5. O is the center of the circle in the picture beside, if ZAPB = 80°, let us find the sum of the measures of ZAOB and COD and answer with reason.
Solution: ‘O’ is the center of the circle & ∠ADB = 80°.
To find the sum of ∠AOB + ∠COD.
Join B, C.
As ∠AOB is the angle at the center and DBC is the angle at the circumference on the same arc AB.
∴ ∠AOB = 2 x ∠ACB
Again, COD is the angle at the center and DBC is the angle at the circumference on the same arc CD.
∠COD=2x ∠CBD
∠AOB+∠COD = 2x (∠ACB + ∠CBD)———(1)
Now, in ABCP, the side CP is produced to A.
∴ External BPA = <PCB + <PBC
∠APB = ∠ACB + <DBC
= ∠ACB+∠DBC= ∠APB = 80°————-(2)
Now, from (1) & (2), ∠AOB + ∠COB = 2 x (∠ACB + ∠DBC)= 2 x 80° = 160°.

Question 6. Like the adjoining figure, we draw two circles with centers C and D which inter- sect each other at points A and B. We draw a straight line through point A which intersects the circle with center C at point P and the circle with center D at point Q.
1. ∠PBQ = <CAD;
2. BPC = <BQD.
Solution: Two circles with centers C & D intersect each other at A & B.
A straight line passing through A cuts the circles at P & Q respectively.
To prove :
∴ 1. ∠PBQ = ∠CAD
& 2. <BPC = <BQD.
Join A, B; A, C; P, C; A, D; D, Q; B, P; B, Q; B, C; B, D.
In the circle with center C,
∠ACP is the angle at the center &
∠ABP is the angle at the circumference on the same arc AP.
∴∠ABP =1/2 ∠ACP and CAP CPA [as, CA = CP (same radius)]
Now, in ∠CAP, ∠CAP + ∠CPA + ∠ACP = 180°
or,∠CAP + ∠ACP = 180°
or, ∠CAP 180° – ∠ACP
∴∠CAP 90° – 1/2
∠ACP 90°= ∠ABP
∴ ∠CAP 90°-∠ABP——(1)
Again, in the circle with center D,
∠ADQ is the angle at the center and ∠ABQ is the angle at the circumference on the same arc AQ.
∴∠ABQ= 1/2 ∠ADQ
In ∠ADQ, DA = DQ (radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠DAQ = ∠DQA
∴ ∠DAQ + ∠DQA = 2 ∠DAQ
In∠ADQ, ∠ADQ+ ∠DAQ + ∠DQA = 180°
or, ∠ADQ+2∠DAQ = 180°
or, 2 ∠DAQ 180° – ∠ADQ
∴∠DAQ = 90° – 1/2
∠ADQ 90° – ABQ————-(2)
∴∠DAQ = 90° – ∠ABQ
Adding (1) & (2),
∠CAP +∠DAQ = 90° – ∠ABP + 90° – ∠ABQ
=180° (∠ABP + ∠ABQ) = 180° – ∠PBQ.
or, ∠PBQ = 180° – (∠CAP + ∠DAQ)
∴∠PBQ = CAD Proved.
Again, In ∠ABC, CA = CB (Radii of the same circle)
∠CAB = <CBA
& In∠DAB, DA = DB (Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠DAB = DBA
∴∠CAB+ ∠DAB = ∠CBA + ∠DBA
∠CAD = CBD but ∠CAD =∠PBQ (Proved before)
∴ ∠CBD = CAD =∠PBQ
∴ ∠CBD + ∠PBD =∠PAD+ ∠PBQ
or, CBP = DBQ [as BC= PC (Radii of same circle)] and BD = DQ
∴ ∠BPC = CBP and ∠DBQ = ∠BQD
∴ BPC = CBP =∠DBQ =∠BQD
∴ ∠BPC = ∠BQD Proved.

Question 7. If the circumcentre of triangle ABC is O; let us prove that ∠OBC + <BAC = 90°.
Solution: O is the circumcentre of the triangle ∠ABC.
To prove, ∠OBC + ∠BAC = 90°
BOC = 2BAC
∴ <BAC = 1/2 ∠BOC
In ΔOBC, ∠OBC = ∠OCB
∠OBC+∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°
∴2∠OBC+BOC = 180°
or, 2∠OBC= 180° – ∠BOC
or,∠OBC= 90° – 1/2 ∠BOC
= 90-∠BAC
∴∠OBC+∠BAC
= 90° Proved.
Question 8. Each of two equal circles passes through the center of the other and the two circles intersect each other at points A and B. If a straight line through point A intersects the two circles at points C and D, let us prove that ABCD is an equilateral triangle.
Solution: Let P & Q are the centres of two equal circles. They cut each other at A and
Join, A,P; A,Q; B,P; B,Q; A,B; P,Q.
∴AP = BP = ΔAB = AQ = PQ
∴ΔAPQ & BQ are equilateral triangles.
∴∠PAQ= ∠APQ= ∠AQP = ∠PBQ = ∠BPQ = ∠BQP = 60°.
Now, ∠APB =∠APQ+ ∠BPQ = 60° + 60° = 120°
∠AQB = ∠AQP+∠PQB = 60° +60° = 120°
∴ ∠APB = ∠AQB = 120°
In the circle with centre P, APB is the angle at the centre & ADB is the angle at the circumference on the same arc AQB.
∴∠ADB = 1/2
∠APB = 1/2 x 120° = 60°
∠CDB = 60°
Again, in the circle with center Q, ZAPB & ZACB are the angles at the circumference on the same arc.
∠ACB = ∠APB = 120°.
∴∠BCD = 180° – ∠ACB= 180°- 120° = 60°
∴ In ABCD, CDB = ∠BCD = 60°
Remaining DBC= 180° (∠CDB + <BCD)
= 180° – (60° 60°) = 60°
∴ All the angles of BCD are equal.
∴ ABCD is an equilateral triangle.
Question 9. S is the center of the circumcircle of AABC and if ADI BC, let us prove that <BAD = <SAC.

Question 10. Two chords AB and CD of a circle with center O intersect each other at the point P, let us prove that ∠AOD + ∠BOC = 2∠BPC. If ∠AOD and ∠BOC are supplementary to each other, let us prove that the two chords are perpendicular to each other.
Solution: Two chords AB & CD of a circle with center O,
intersect each other at P.
To prove,
∠AOD + ∠BOC = 2BPC
If ∠AOD & BOC are supplementary to each other, then prove that the chords are perpendicular to each other.
Join, O, A; O, B; O, C; O, D; & B, D.
In the circle with center O, AOB is the angle at the center & ABD is the angle at the circumference, in the same arc AKD.
∴∠ABD = 1/2 = ∠AOD
or, ∠AOD = 2 x ∠ABD
Again, in the circle with center O, ∠BOC is the angle at the center and BDC is the angle at the circumference on the same arc ZBLC.
∴∠BOC = 2 x <BDC
∴∠AOD + ∠BOC = 2(∠ABD + 2BDC) = (<PBD + BDP)——(1)
Now in the triangle PBD, Ext. ∠BPC
∴ ∠BPC = ∠PBD + 2BDP
From (1), ∠AOD +∠BOC = 2∠BPC (Proved 1st part)
Again, if ∠AOD + ∠BOC = 2 right angles
2 x ∠BPC =∠AOD +∠BOC = 2 right angles
∴∠BPC = 90°
BP PC, i.e., Two chords AB & CD are perpendicular to each other. Proved – 2nd part.
Question 11. If two chords AB and CD of a circle with center O, when produced, intersect each other at the point P, let us prove that ∠AOC – BOD = 2∠BPC.
Solution: Two chords AB and CD of the circle with center O, when produced, cut each other at P, outside the circle.
To prove,∠AOC – BOD = 2 x <BDC
Join O, A; O, B; O, C; O, D; & A, D.
Proof: In the circle with center O,∠AOC is K
the angle at the center & ZADC is the angle at the circumference on the same arc. AKC,
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ADC
Again, in that circle BAD is the angle at
the center & BAD is the angle at the circumference on the same arc BD,
∴ ∠BOD = 2∠BAD
∠AOC – ∠BOD=2(∠ADC-∠BAD) —–(1)
In ΔAPD, External∠ADC = ∠APD + ∠PAD = ∠APC + ∠PAD
or, ∠APC =∠ADC – ∠PAD
2(∠ADC-∠PAD) 2∠APC
∠AOC –
BOD = 2∠APC [from (1)]
Question 12. We drew a circle with point A of quadrilateral ABCD as the center which passes through points B, C, and D. Let us prove that CBD + /CDB = <BAD.
Solution: The circle is drawn with center A of the quadrilateral ABCD, passing through B, C, and D.
To prove, CBD + /CDB = 1/2 ∠BAD
Proof : 2∠BCD = 360 – <BAD
∴∠BCD = 180° -1/2 ∠BAD
From ABCD, ∠BDC + 4CBD = 180° – ∠BCD
or, <CBD + /CDB = 180° – (180° -1/2 ∠BAD)
=1/2 ∠BAD Proved.
Question 13. O, is the circumcentre of AABC and OD is perpendicular on the side BC; let us prove that BOD = <BAC
Solution: O is the circumcentre & OD is perpendicular to BC.
To prove,∠BOD = BAC
Join O, A; O, B; O, C; O, D &A, D.
Proof: From ΔAOC,
∠AOC+∠OAC+∠OCA = 180°
.. 2∠OAC = 180° – ∠AOC 90° – ∠ABC
∠BAD 90° – ∠ABC =∠OAC
.. <BAC = ∠OAC + ZOAB = ∠BOD Proved.
