Given,
AB is equal to the radius of the circle.
In ΔOAB,
OA = OB = AB = radius of the circle.
Thus, ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.
∠AOC = 60°
also,
∠ACB = 1/2 ∠AOB = 1/2 × 60° = 30°
ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠ACB + ∠ADB = 180° (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° - 30° = 150°
Thus, angle subtend by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc are 150° and 30° respectively.
