    Question

    In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, AE

    is the diameter and ∠AOC = 100°.   The value of ∠CDE + ∠CEA is: 
    A 90° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 80° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For ∠CDE: Consider chord CE ∠COE is the angle subtended by the chord CE at centre and  ∠CDE is the angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference. So, ∠CDE = 1/2 × ∠COE = 1/2 × 80 = 40°  For ∠CEA: Consider chord AC ∠AOC is the angle subtended by the chord AC at centre and ∠CEA is the angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference. So, ∠CEA = 1/2 × ∠AOC = 1/2 × 100 = 50°  Thus, ∠CDE + ∠CEA = 40 + 50 = 90°
