Solution
The correct option is C 20° Given: ∠BOC=80°We know that, an angle subtented by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtented by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle. ⇒∠BOC=2×∠BAC ∴∠BAC=40° ∠BAO=20° Consider ΔAOB, OA=OB=r ∠OAB=∠OBA ..... (angles opposite equal sides are equal) Hence, ∠ABO=20°
