If PQ and PR be the two tangents to a circle with centre O such that ∠QPR = 120°, then ∠POQ is
90°
45°
30°
60°
PQ is a direct common tangent of two circles of radii r1 and r2 touching each other externally at A. Then, the value of PQ2 is
r1r2
2r1r2
3r1r2
4r1r2
D.
4r1r2
Shorcut Method:
The value of PQ2 is
= (r1 + r2)2 - (r1 - r2)2
= 4r1r2
