To draw a pair of tangents to a circle which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°, it is required to draw tangents at endpoints of those two radii of the circle, the angle between them should be A. 135°  B. 90° C. 60° D. 120°

Answer»

D. 120°

The angle between them should be 120° because in that case the figure formed by the intersection point of pair of tangent, the two end points of those-two radii tangents are drawn) and the centre of the circle is a quadrilateral.

From figure it is quadrilateral,

∠POQ + ∠PRQ = 180° [∴ sum of opposite angles are 180°]

60°+ θ = 180°

θ = 120

Hence, the required angle between them is 120°.
