Question

A triangle ABC is made on a circle, where AB is diameter of the circle. If BC is equal to the radius of the circle and ∠ABC = x ∠BAC, then x is:

A.

2.5

B.

2

C.

1

D.

1.5

Correct option is B

Given:
Triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle with AB as the diameter.
BC is equal to the radius of the circle.
∠ABC = x ∠BAC.
Concept Used:
∠ABC in a triangle inscribed in a circle where AB is the diameter is a right angle (90°), based on the property of a triangle inscribed in a semicircle.
An equilateral triangle has equal sides and every interior angle 6060^\circ​.
Solution: 
From the fig., 
OC = OB , ( radius)
OB = BC (given) 
So, OBC\triangle OBC  is a equilateral triangle ,
Thus, OBC=BCO=BOC=60\angle OBC =\angle BCO =\angle BOC = 60^\circ 
Now, ACB=90\angle ACB = 90^\circ  ( angle made by diameter AB)
ACB=ACO+BCO\angle ACB = \angle ACO +\angle BCO  
ACO=9060=30 \implies \angle ACO = 90 -60 = 30 ^\circ 
Now, AO = CO (radius) 
So, ACO=BAC=30\angle ACO = \angle BAC = 30^\circ  
Now
  ABC=xBAC60=x×30x=6030=2\angle ABC = x \angle BAC \\ 60^\circ = x \times 30^\circ \\ x = \frac{60^\circ}{30^\circ} =\bf 2
