A chord of a circle is equal to its radius. The angle subtended by this chord at a point on the circumference in the major segment is

a

60°

b

120°

c

90°

d

30°

Answer : Option D
Explanation :

∴ OA = OB = AB

∴ ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.

∴ ∠AOB = 60

The angle subtended by an arc at the circumference is half of that at the centre.

ACB=12×60=30\therefore \angle \mathrm{ACB}=\frac{1}{2} \times 60^{\circ}=30^{\circ}
