AB is diameter of a circle having centre at O. P is a point on the circumference of the circle. If $$\angle$$POA = 120$$^\circ$$, then the measure of $$\angle$$PBO is
Given, $$\angle$$POA = 120$$^\circ$$
In $$\triangle\ $$OPB,
OP = OB
$$=$$> $$\angle$$PBO = $$\angle$$BPO
Let $$\angle$$PBO = $$\angle$$BPO = x
From the figure,
$$\angle$$POA + $$\angle$$POB = 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> 120$$^\circ$$ + $$\angle$$POB = 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> $$\angle$$POB = 60$$^\circ$$
In $$\triangle\ $$OPB,
$$\angle$$POB + $$\angle$$PBO + $$\angle$$BPO = 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> 60$$^\circ$$ + x + x = 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> 2x = 120$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> x = 60$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> $$\angle$$PBO = x = 60$$^\circ$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
