We know that the angle subtended by a chord at the centre is twice the same at the circumference.

Question Image

Here, AB is a chord. AB=OA=OB

 AOB is an equilateral triangle.

AOB=60

So, we get,

AOB=2APB 600=2APB APB=300

By cyclic quadrilateral property,

APB+ACB=1800

 300+ACB=1800

ACB=1500

Hence, the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc are 150o, 30o respectively.
