  1. A, B and C are the three points on a circle such that the angles subtended by the chords AB and AC at the centre O are 90° and 110° respectively. ∠BAC is equal to
    1. 70°
    2. 80°
    3. 90°
    4. 100°
Correct Option: B

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

[∵ BOC is not a straight line]
From figure , ∠AOB = 90° ; OA = OB = r
∴ ∠BAO = ∠ABO = 45°
∴ ∠AOC = 110° ; OA = OC = r

∴ ∠OAC = ∠OCA =
70
= 35°
2

∴ ∠BAC = 45° + 35° = 80°
