In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, AE is the diameter and ∠AOC = 100°.
The value of ∠CDE + ∠CEA is:
Correct Answer :
90°
Solution :
Correct Option: 90°
Given in the figure:
• O is the centre of the circle.
• AE is the diameter of the circle.
•

Step 1: Find or relation using the central angle.
The angle subtended by arc AC at the centre is .
The angle subtended by the major arc AC at any point on the circumference (like point D or point B) can be found using circle properties.
Angle subtended by arc AC at point D on the circumference:
Step 2: Find .
Since AOE is a straight line diameter, the sum of angles on a straight line is 180°:
Step 3: Find .
The angle subtended by arc AC at the circumference point E is:
So, .
Step 4: Find .
The angle subtended by arc EC at the circumference point D is half the central angle :
Step 5: Calculate .
Thus, the value of is 90°.
