उत्तर
Consider PR as a chord of the circle.
Take any point S on the major arc of the circle.
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∠PQR + ∠PSR = 180° ...(Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠PSR = 180° − 100° = 80°
We know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠POR = 2∠PSR = 2(80°) = 160°
In ΔPOR,
OP = OR ...(Radii of the same circle)
∴ ∠OPR = ∠ORP ...(Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle)
∠OPR + ∠ORP + ∠POR = 180° ...(Angle sum property of a triangle)
2∠OPR + 160° = 180°
2∠OPR = 180° − 160° = 20°
∠OPR = 10°
