 Given that , ∠AOD = 20° and ∠BOC = 30°
 ∠BOC = 2 ∠BAC
 ∠AOD = 2 ∠DCA
 ∴ ∠BOC + ∠AOD = 2 (∠BAC + ∠DCA)Correct Option: COn the basis of question we draw a figure of a circle with centre in which two chords AB and CD intersect each other at the point P  
 Given that , ∠AOD = 20° and ∠BOC = 30°
 ∠BOC = 2 ∠BAC
 ∠AOD = 2 ∠DCA
 ∴ ∠BOC + ∠AOD = 2 (∠BAC + ∠DCA)
 ∠BOC + ∠AOD = 2 ∠BPC (Exterior angles' sum)
 ∴ 2∠BPC = 20° + 30° = 50°
 ⇒ ∠BPC = 25°

 Here , AB² + AC² = BC² and BC = √2AB,
 AB² + AC² = BC² ⇒ ∠BAC = 90°Correct Option: BAs per the given in question , we draw a figure of a ∆ABC,  
 Here , AB² + AC² = BC² and BC = √2AB,
 AB² + AC² = BC² ⇒ ∠BAC = 90°
 ⇒ AB² + AC² = 2AB²
 ⇒ AB² = AC²
 ⇒ AB = AC
 ∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 45°
-  A straight line parallel to BC of ∆ABC intersects AB and AC at points P and Q respectively. AP = QC, PB= 4 units and AQ = 9 units, then the length of AP is :

 ⇒ AP² = PB. AQ = 4 × 9 = 36
 ∴ AP = 6 units

 Join CB.
 ∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2∠ABC + 2∠BCD (Exterior angles of triangle)
 ∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2(∠ABC + ∠BCD) = 2∠BPDCorrect Option: CAccording to question , we draw a figure ofa circle with centre O and AB and CD are two chords  
 Here , ∠ AOC = 50°, ∠ BOD = 40°
 Join CB.
 ∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2∠ABC + 2∠BCD (Exterior angles of triangle)
 ∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2(∠ABC + ∠BCD) = 2∠BPD∴ ∠BPD = 1 (50° + 40°) = 45° 2 
-  Ashok has drawn an angle of measure 45°27' when he was asked to draw an angle of 45°. The percentage error in his drawing is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum According to question , 
 Error = 45°27' – 45° = 27'
 We have, 60' = 1°⇒ 27' = 27 60 ∴ Percentage error = 27 × 100 60 45 
 Correct Option: BAccording to question , 
 Error = 45°27' – 45° = 27'
 We have, 60' = 1°⇒ 27' = 27 60 ∴ Percentage error = 27 × 100 60 45 Hence , Percentage error = 2700 = 1% 60 × 45
