  1. The chord of a circle is equal to its radius. The angle subtended by this chord at the minor arc of the circle is
    1. 75°
    2. 60°
    3. 150°
    4. 120°
Correct Option: C

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

Here , OA = AB = OB
∠AOB = 60°
∴ ∠ADB = 30°
As we know that Angle subtended at the centre by an arc is twice of that subtended at the circumference.
☐ ADBC is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠ADB + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 30° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 30° = 150°
