    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in a circle with centre O

    Given , ∠COD = 120°
    ∠BAC = 30°

    ∠CAD =
    1
    × ∠COD
    2

    ∠CAD =
    1
    × 120° = 60°
    2

    Correct Option: B

    Given , ∠COD = 120°
    ∠BAC = 30°

    ∠CAD =

    × ∠COD
    2

    ∠CAD =
    1
    × 120° = 60°
    2

    ∴ ∠BAD = 90°
    ∴ ∠BCD = 180° - ∠BAD
    ∴ ∠BCD = 180° – 90° = 90°

    According to question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,

    Here , BO = OC = 15 cm and OD = 9 cm.
    From ∆ BDO ,
    ∴ BD = √BO² - OD²

    Correct Option: A

    According to question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,

    Here , BO = OC = 15 cm and OD = 9 cm.
    From ∆ BDO ,
    ∴ BD = √BO² - OD²
    ∴ BD = √15² - 9²
    BD = √24 × 6 = 12 cm
    ∴ BC = 2 × 12 = 24 cm.



  1. ABC is an isosceles triangle such that AB = AC and ∠B = 35°. AD is the median to the base BC. Then ∠BAD is:

    Firstly , We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
    ⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
    Now, ∠ADB = 90°

    Correct Option: D

    Firstly , We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
    ⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
    Now, ∠ADB = 90°
    In ∆ADB , ∠ BAD + ∠ ABD + ∠ ADB = 180°
    ⇒ ∠ BAD + 90° + 35° = 180°
    ∴ ∠BAD = 55°

    According to question ,
    D, is the mid-point of side BC. Point O is the centroid that divides AD in the ratio 2 : 1.
    we draw a figure triangle ABC whose point O is centroid ,
