  1. In a circle, two arcs of unequal length subtend angles in the ratio 5 : 3. If the smaller angle is 45° then the measure of other angle in degrees is :
    1. 75°
    2. 72°
    3. 60°
    4. 78°
Correct Option: A

We find the required answer with the help of given formula ,

θ =
l
where θ is in radian measure.
r

∴ θ1 =
l1
: θ2 =
l2
r1r2

θ1
=
l1 r2
θ2 r1 l2

θ1
=
5
(∵ r1 = r2)
45°3

⇒ θ1 =
5
× 45° = 75°
3
(∵ Here ratio is given. Hence, θ is not taken in radian.)
