Join AD.

The locus of the tip of the pendulum of a clock. Loci, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

∠AOC = 130°

∠ADB = 90°

We know that,

The angle which an arc subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.

∴ ∠ADC = 12\dfrac{1}{2} ∠AOC

∠ADC = 1302\dfrac{130^{\circ}}{2} = 65°

At point D,

∠ADB = ∠ADC + ∠CDB

90° = 65° + x

x = 25°

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
