Answer

If the length of chord AB is equal to the radius of the circle; then △AOB is equilateral triangle.

∠AOB = 60°

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.

∴ ∠ACB = 12\dfrac{1}{2} ∠AOB

∠ACB = 602\dfrac{60^{\circ}}{2} = 30°.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
