Answer
From figure,
OP is a straight line.
∴ ∠OAR + x = 180°
⇒ ∠OAR = 180° - x
OR is a straight line.
∴ ∠PBO + y = 180°
⇒ ∠PBO = 180° - y
Since, ∠x = ∠y
∴ ∠OAR = ∠PBO
In △ PBO and △ OAR,
⇒ PO = RO (Given)
⇒ ∠PBO = ∠OAR (Proved above)
⇒ ∠O = ∠O (Common angle)
∴ △ PBO ≅ △ OAR (By A.A.S. axiom)
We know that,
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal.
∴ BP = AR.
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
