    Question

    If PQ and PR are the two tangents to a circle with center O, and ∠QOR=150°, then ∠QPR is equal to:

    A.

    60°

    B.

    30°

    C.

    90°

    D.

    45°

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    ∠QOR=150°
    PQ and PR are the two tangents
    Center of circle = O
    Solution:
    As per the question


    Therefore, the radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents. So, we have OQ⊥PQ and OR⊥RP. =>∠OQP=∠ORP=90∘ So, in quadrilateral PQOR, we have 

    OQP+QPR+PRO+ROQ=360=>90+QPR+90+150=360=>QPR=360330=30\angle OQP + \angle QPR + \angle PRO + \angle ROQ = 360^\circ\\\Rightarrow 90^\circ + \angle QPR + 90^\circ + 150^\circ = 360^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle QPR = 360^\circ - 330^\circ = 30^\circ\\​​
