Detailed Solution

Let the diagram of the situation be,
Question ImageLet AOF=α  . If s is the arc length and r is the radius of the circle, then the length of the arc of a circle is given as s=rθ  . So,
l(AF) l(AB) = dα dθ = α θ  
From the figure, we get ΔDOC   and ΔEFC   are right triangles. So, ODC=FEC= 90  . Also, DOC=EFC=α   as they are alternate angles. In ΔBDO  ,
sinθ= BD OB BD=dsinθ  
As E is the midpoint of BD, we get ED= 1 2 dsinθ  . So, OC(sinα)+CF(sinα)  .
We know that, sinα= CD OC   and sinα= CE CF  .
OC(sinα)+CF(sinα)=OC CD OC +CF CE CF =CD+CE =ED  
We know that, CF=dOC   and ED= 1 2 dsinθ  . So,
OC(sinα)+(dOC)(sinα)= 1 2 dsinθ dsinα= 1 2 dsinθ sinα= 1 2 sinθ α= sin 1 1 2 sinθ  
Hence, the correct option is 4.
