Question -

In Fig. 10.11, if TPand TQ are the two tangents to a circle with centre O so that POQ = 110°, 



Answer -

then PTQ is equal to

(A) 60°                      (B) 70°

(C) 80°                      (D) 90°

Answer:

From the question, it is clear that OP is theradius of the circle to the tangent PT and OQ is the radius to the tangents TQ.

So, OP PT and TQ OQ

∴∠OPT = OQT = 90°

Now, in the quadrilateral POQT, we know thatthe sum of the interior angles is 360°

So, PTQ+POQ+OPT+OQT = 360°

Now, by putting the respective values we get,

PTQ +90°+110°+90° = 360°

PTQ = 70°

So, PTQ is 70° which isoption B.
