In the diagram, PO and OR are radii, |PQ| = |QR| and reflex < PQR is 240o. Calculate the value x
A
60o
B
55o
C
50o
D
45o
correct option: a
< Q = \(\frac{240}{2}\) (angle at centre twice that at the circumference)

< Q = 120o

Also < POR = 360 - 240

= 120o

( < s at centre) since /PQ/ = /QR/, < x = < R

Byt < x + < R + O + Q = 360 (sum of interior < s of quadrilateral)

x + R + 120 = 360o

x + R = 360 - 240 = 120; Since x = R

x + x = 120

2x = 120

Since x = R

x + x = 120

2x = 120

x = \(\frac{120}{2}\)

= 60o
