In the given figure, O is the centre of circle. The angle subtended by the arc BCD at the centre is 140°. BC is produced to P. Determine ∠BAD + ∠DCP.

a

120°

b

130°

c

140°

d

160°

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

∠BOD = 140°

BAD=12BOD=70\therefore \angle \mathrm{BAD}=\frac{1}{2} \angle \mathrm{BOD}=70^{\circ}

ABCD\mathrm{ABCD} is a concyclic quadrilateral.

BAD+BCD=180\therefore \angle \mathrm{BAD}+\angle \mathrm{BCD}=180^{\circ}

70+BCD=180\Rightarrow 70^{\circ}+\angle \mathrm{BCD}=180^{\circ}

BCD=110\Rightarrow \angle \mathrm{BCD}=110^{\circ}

BCD+DCP=180\therefore \angle \mathrm{BCD}+\angle \mathrm{DCP}=180^{\circ}

110+DCP=180\Rightarrow 110^{\circ}+\angle \mathrm{DCP}=180^{\circ}

DCP=180110=70\Rightarrow \angle \mathrm{DCP}=180^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=70^{\circ}

BAD=DCP=70\therefore \angle \mathrm{BAD}=\angle \mathrm{DCP}=70^{\circ}

BAD+DCP=140\therefore \angle \mathrm{BAD}+\angle \mathrm{DCP}=140^{\circ}
