उत्तर
270° and 90°
We are given the major arc is 3 times the minor arc. We are asked to find the corresponding central angle.
See the corresponding figure.
We know that angle formed by the circumference at the centre is 360°.
Since the circumference of the circle is divided into two parts such that the angle formed by major and minor arcs at the centre are 3x and x respectively.
So 3x + x = 360
4x = 360
x = 90
So m \[\stackrel\frown{AB}\] = 90° and m \[\stackrel\frown{AB}\] = 3x = 270°
