Correct Answer :

Option C

90°

Solution :

Correct Option: 90°

Given in the figure:

• O is the centre of the circle.

• AE is the diameter of the circle.

AOC=100°

Step 1: Find ABC or relation using the central angle.

The angle subtended by arc AC at the centre is AOC=100°.

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:

ADC=12AOC=12×100°=50°

Step 2: Find COE.

Since AOE is a straight line diameter, the sum of angles on a straight line is 180°:

AOC+COE=180°

100°+COE=180°

COE=80°

Step 3: Find CEA.

The angle subtended by arc AC at the circumference point E is:

AEC=12AOC=12×100°=50°

So, CEA=50°.

Step 4: Find CDE.

The angle subtended by arc EC at the circumference point D is half the central angle COE:

CDE=12COE=12×80°=40°

Step 5: Calculate CDE+CEA.

CDE+CEA=40°+50°=90°

Thus, the value of CDE+CEA is 90°.
