Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

From the figure attached,

By applying triangle sum theorem in ΔBCP,

m∠CBP + m∠CPB + m∠BCP = 180°

15° + 20° + m∠BCP = 180°

m∠BCP = 145°

m∠ACB + m∠BCP = 180° [Linear pair of angles are supplementary]

m∠ACB + 145° = 180°

m∠ACB = 35°

Since, ∠ACB is the inscribed angle and AB is the intercepted arc.

Therefore, m(arc AB) = 2m(∠ACB)

m(arc AB) = 2 × 35°

= 70°

Therefore, Option (A) is the correct option.
