Correct Answer: 120 degrees
Solution :
The angle at the center is twice the angle at the major arc.
Let the angle made at the centre be $2xº$
Angle made at major arc = $x°$
$⇒ 2xº + xº = 180º$
$⇒ 3xº = 180º$
$⇒ xº = 60º$
$⇒ 2xº = 120º$
Therefore, the angle made at the centre of the circle is 120º.
Hence, the correct answer is 120 degrees.
