  1. Two chords AB and CD of a circle with centre O intersect at point P within the circle. ∠AOC + ∠BOD = ?
    1. ∠APC
    2. 2∠APC
    3. 3
      ∠APC
      2
    4. None of these
Correct Option: B

According to question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O in which two chords AB and CD intersect at point P within the circle

Arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre.
∠AOC = 2∠ABC
Similarly, ∠BOD = 2∠BCD
On adding, we get
∠AOC + ∠BOD = 2(∠ABC + ∠BCD) = 2∠APC [∵ ∠APC is the exterior angle]
