From a point X that is external to a circle, tangents are drawn to the circle. What is the angle between the radius of the circle that is drawn from the point of contact to the centre O and the straight line that joins X to O? Given that the angle between tangents is 80 degree at X.
1)50 degrees 2)25 degrees 3)45 degrees 4) Such an angle is not possible

1) 50 degrees
given, angle between 2 tangents is 80 degrees &
angle between radius and any tangent is 90 degrees
we get a quadrilateral and sum of all the angles of quadrilateral is 360 degrees
so, the angle made at center is
360- (90+90+80)=100
so the line joining point x and center makes an angle 100/2=50 degrees
