Solution


Given:
    • OB = 5 cm
    • \(∠ABC = [m]30^0\)[/m]

To find:
    • Length of the arc

Approach and Working Out:
    • Length of the arc = \(\frac{central angle made by the arc}{360^0} × 2 × π × R.\)

To find the length of the arc, we need the value of two variables, central angle made by the arc and radius.
    • We are already given the radius as OB = 5cm
    • We need to find the ∠AOC.

On visualizing the diagram, the inscribed angle formed by the arc AC is ∠ABC and central angle formed by arc AC is ∠AOC.
    • Hence, we can apply the property that the angle made at center by an arc is twice the inscribed angle formed by the same arc.
    • Thus, ∠AOC = 2 × ∠ABC = \(2 × 30^0 = 60^0\)

Now, we know the central angle formed by the arc as well.
    • Hence, length of the arc AC = \(\frac{central angle made by the arc}{360^0} × 2 × π × R\).
      o = \(60/360 × 2 × π × 5\).
      o = \(\frac{1}{6} × 2 × π × 5\).
      o = \(\frac{5π}{3}\) cm.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Answer: B
