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.
