Question
In the figure given below, ABOP is a rectangle and O is the centre of the circle. It is also given that AB = BC and the measure of the angle ABC is 60. Find
the measure of the angle OPN.  
In The Figure Given Below, ABOP Is A Rectangle And O Is The ...
Options:
A .  30∘
B .  15∘
C .  20∘
D .  25∘
Answer: Option B
:
B
In The Figure Given Below, ABOP Is A Rectangle And O Is The ...
AB = BC andABC=60°. Therefore, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle
Now see thatABOP is a rectangle.
And BAN=60°, Therefore, NAP=90 − 60 = 30
And ANP =12 * 90 = 45
Now in ΔANP,
NPA=180−45−30=105
And hence NPO = NPA - OPA = 105 - 90 = 15
Shortcut
ABC is an equilateral triangle and ABM is a 30 – 60 -90 triangle (M being the point of intersection of AN and the circle). OMN is also 30. MOP = 90, and MNP = 45; MPO = PMO = 45. NPO = 180 – 75 – 45 – 45 = 15
