(N/A) $ABCD$ is a quadrilateral such that $A$ is the centre of the circle passing through $B, C$ and $D$. We have to prove that $\angle CBD + \angle CDB = \frac{1}{2} \angle BAD$.
Join $AC$.
Since the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle:
Therefore,$\angle CAD = 2 \angle CBD$ $....(1)$
And $\angle BAC = 2 \angle CDB$ $....(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$,we get:
$\angle CAD + \angle BAC = 2(\angle CBD + \angle CDB)$
$\Rightarrow \angle BAD = 2(\angle CBD + \angle CDB)$
Hence,$\angle CBD + \angle CDB = \frac{1}{2} \angle BAD$.

In the figure,two congruent circles have centers $O$ and $O'$. Arc $AXB$ subtends an angle of $75^{\circ}$ at the center $O$ and arc $A'YB'$ subtends an angle of $25^{\circ}$ at the center $O'$. Then the ratio of the lengths of arcs $AXB$ and $A'YB'$ is:

If arcs $AXB$ and $CYD$ of a circle are congruent,find the ratio of $AB$ and $CD.$
