Problem

On two circular tracks, arcs of equal length 10 m10\,\text{m} are marked. Track P has radius 20 m20\,\text{m} and track Q has radius 40 m40\,\text{m}. Which statement about the angles subtended by the two arcs at their respective centres is correct? (a) Both tracks subtend the same angle. (b) The arc on track Q subtends twice the angle subtended on track P. (c) The arc on track P subtends twice the angle subtended on track Q. (d) The arc on track Q subtends four times the angle subtended on track P.
