    If 'O' is the circumcentre of a triangle ABC and OD is perpendicular to BC, then find ∠ BOD.
    Question

    If 'O' is the circumcentre of a triangle ABC and OD is perpendicular to BC, then find ∠ BOD.

    A.

    90°-∠A

    B.

    2-∠A

    C.

    ∠A

    D.

    (1/2)∠A

    Correct option is C

    Concept Used:
    Angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
    Solution:

    D is the midpoint.
    BD = DC, OB = OC (radius)
    Now, we can say,
    2∠BOD = 2 ∠COD = ∠BOC
    As we know,
    ∴ ∠BOC = 2∠BAC
    => 2 ∠BOD = 2 ∠BAC
    => ∠BOD = ∠A
