In a circle, the following property holds: the angle that a chord subtends on the major arc is 180 degrees minus the angle that the same chord subtends on the minor arc. This is due to the fact that any point on a circle defines an angle of 360 degrees.
Calculation:
So, if the angle made by a chord on the major arc is ∠ACB = 50°,
then the angle that the same chord makes on the minor arc of the
circle would be ∠ACB = 180 - 50 = 130°.
∴ Option 2 is the correct answer.
