In the figure given below (not drawn to scale), A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O. The chord BA is extended to a point T such that CT becomes a tangent to the circle at point C. If ∠ATC = 30∘ and ∠ACT = 50∘, then the ∠BOA is : (CAT 2003)
Options:
A .  100∘
B .  150∘
C .  80∘
D .  not possible to determine
Answer: Option A : A ∠CAT= 100∘ Therefore, ∠BAC= 80∘ ∠OCT= 90∘ Therefore, ∠BCT is > 90∘ Going from answer options, answer can only be option (a)
