Given:

Let C be a circle with center O and AB be a chord of C such that the length of AB is equal to the radius of C. Let D be any point on the major arc of AB. Find ∠AOB and ∠ADB, respectively.

Formula used:

1. The angle subtended by a chord equal to the radius in a circle is 60º.

2. The angle subtended by the same chord at the circumference on the major arc is half of the angle subtended at the center.

Calculation:

Given AB = radius of C

⇒ ∠AOB = 60º

For ∠ADB,

⇒ ∠ADB = 1/2 × ∠AOB

⇒ ∠ADB = 1/2 × 60º

⇒ ∠ADB = 30º

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
