Given, O is the center of a circle.

AB=AC

OP⊥AB

OQ⊥AC

∠PBA=30  

∘

 

To prove :- BP∥QC

Construction : Join BC, OC and OB, as shown in the figure above.

Proof : AB=AC

We know that, angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.

∴ ∠ACB=∠ABC __ (1)

OC=OB [∵ radius]

∠OCB=∠OBC __ (2)

Using (1), we have:

∠ACB=∠ABC

⇒∠ACO+∠OCB=∠ABO+∠OBC

Using (2), we can say:

⇒∠ACO=∠ABO __ (3)

In △OXC and △OYB

∠OXC=∠OYB=90  

o

[∵OQ⊥AC&OP⊥AB]

∠AOC=∠ABO [using (3)]

OC=OB              [Radii]

∴△OXC≅△OYB [AAS]

∠QOC=∠POB [CPCT] __ (4)

Now in △QOC and △POB,

OQ=OB[∵ radius]

∠QOC=∠POB (using (4))

OC=OP(∵ radius)

∴△QOC≅△POB [SAS]

∴OQC=∠OBP [CPCT]
