Question:
Two chords AB and AC of a circle with centre O are on the opposite sides of OA. Then, ∠OAB = ∠OAC.
Solution:
False
In figure, AB and AC are two chords of a circle. Join OB and OC.
In ΔOAB and ΔOAC,
In $\triangle O A B$ and $\triangle O A C_{1}$
$O A=O A$ [common side]
$O B=O C$ [both are the radius of circle]
Here, we are not able to show that either the any angle or third side is equal and $\triangle O A B$ is not congruent to $\triangle O A C$.
$\therefore \quad \angle O A B \neq \angle O A C .$
