Step-by-step explanation:
let the cord be AB
OB equals OA equals AB
hence it is an equilateral triangle
angle AOB equals 60
therefore angle formed on minor arc is 60
angle formed on major arc is 360-60 = 300

AB is equal to the radius of the circle.
In △OAB,
OA=OB=AB= radius of the circle.
Thus, △OAB is an equilateral triangle.
and ∠AOC=60°.
Also, ∠ACB = 1/2 ∠AOB = 1/2×60°=30°.
Since, ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∠ACB+∠ADB=180° ....[Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]
⇒∠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.
