  1. A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O. The tangent at C meets BA produced to T. If ∠ATC = 30° and∠ACT = 48°, then what is the value of ∠AOB ?
    1. 78°
    2. 96°
    3. 102°
    4. 108°
Correct Option: D

According to question , we draw a figure circle with centre O in which A, B and C are three points

Here , ∠ATC = 30°;
∠ACT = 48°
From ∆ CAT ,
∴ ∠CAT + ∠ACT + ∠ATC = 180°
∴ ∠CAT = 180° – (30° + 48°) = 180° – 78° = 102°
∴ ∠OCA = 90° – 48° = 42° = ∠OAC
∴ ∠OAB = 180° – 102° – 42° = 36° = ∠OBA
∴ ∠AOB = 180° – 2 × 36° = 108°
