Answer
We know that,
Congruent circles have equal radius.
Let there be two congruent circles with center O and O' and radius equal to r units.
Let there be two equal chords AB and CD.

In △ AOB and △ CO'D,
⇒ OA = O'C (Both equal to r units)
⇒ OB = O'D (Both equal to r units)
⇒ AB = CD (Given)
⇒ △ AOB ≅ △ CO'D (By S.S.S. axiom)
We know that,
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal.
∴ ∠AOB = ∠CO'D.
Hence, proved that equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centers.
