MCQ
In the given figure, $AB$ and $CD$ are two intersecting chords of a circle. If $\angle\text{CAB}=40^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BCD}=80^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{CBD}=?$
  • A
    $80^\circ $
  • B
    $70^\circ$
  • $60^\circ$
  • D
    $50^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$60^\circ$

We have:
$\angle\text{CDB}=\angle\text{CAB}=40^\circ$ (Angles in the same segment of a circle)
In $\triangle\text{CBD},$ we have:
$\angle\text{CDB}+\angle\text{BCD}+\angle\text{CBD}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property of a triangle)
$\Rightarrow40^\circ+80^\circ+\angle\text{CBD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CBD}=(180^\circ-120^\circ)=60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CBD}=60^\circ$
