  1. AC is the diameter of a circumcircle of ∆ ABC. Chord ED is parallel to the diameter AC. If ∠CBE = 50°, then the measure of ∠DEC is
    1. 50°
    2. 90°
    3. 60°
    4. 40°
Correct Option: D

According to question , we draw a figure circle and chord ED is parallel to the diameter AC

∠CBE = 50°
∠BAC + ∠BCA = 90° [∵ ∠ABC = 90°]
∠ABE = 90° – 50° = 40°
∴ ∠ABE = ∠ACE = 40°
∴ ∠ACE = ∠DEC = 40°
