A tangent PQ at a point P of a circle of radius 5 cm meets a line through the centre O at a point Q so that OQ = 12 cm. Length PQ is :  

(a) 12 cm    (b) 13 cm

(c) 8.5 cm    (d)  

224.

From a point Q, the length of the tangent to a circle is 24 cm and the distance of Q from the centre is 25 cm. The radius of the circle is
(A) 7 cm      (B) 12 cm
(C) 15 cm    (D) 24.5 cm.

In Fig. 10.11, if TP and TQ are the two tangents to a circle with centre O so that ∠ POQ = 110°, then ∠ PTQ is equal to
(A) 60°    (B) 70°
(C) 80°    (D) 90°



Fig. 10.11

If tangents PA and PB from a point P to a circle with centre O are inclined to each other at angle of 80°, then ∠ POA is equal to

(A) 50°    (B) 60°
(C) 70°    (D) 80°.
