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 and ABC=60°. Therefore, ΔABC is an equilateral triangle


Now see that ABOP 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
