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, Â $$\angle$$POA = 120$$^\circ$$
In $$\triangle\ $$OPB,
OP = OB
$$=$$> Â $$\angle$$PBO =Â $$\angle$$BPO
Let $$\angle$$PBO = $$\angle$$BPO = x
From the figure,
$$\angle$$POA +Â $$\angle$$POB =Â 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> Â 120$$^\circ$$ +Â $$\angle$$POB =Â 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> Â $$\angle$$POB = 60$$^\circ$$
In $$\triangle\ $$OPB,
$$\angle$$POB + $$\angle$$PBO +Â $$\angle$$BPO =Â 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> Â 60$$^\circ$$ + x + x = 180$$^\circ$$
$$=$$>Â 2x =Â 120$$^\circ$$
$$=$$>Â Â x =Â 60$$^\circ$$
$$=$$> Â $$\angle$$PBO = x =Â 60$$^\circ$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
