A chord AB of a circle divides it into two segments. If the angle in the minor segment is 120 degrees, what is the angle in the major segment?
A30 degrees
B60 degrees
C90 degrees
D120 degrees
✓ Correct Answer: B — 60 degrees
The sum of angles in the two segments formed by a chord is 180 (cyclic property). 180 - 120 = 60 degrees.
