Given:

Sum of angles = 180°

Concept used:

Angle at the centre is twice the angle at the major arc.

Calculation:

F3 Vinanti SSC 20.06.23 D1 V2

Let the angle made at centre be 2x°

Angle made at major arc = x° 

⇒ 2x° + x°  = 180°

⇒ 3x° = 180°

⇒ x°  = 60°

⇒ 2x°  = 12

Therefore, the angle made at the centre of the circle is 120°.
