Q.

Consider the circle x2+y28x18y+93=0 with centre ‘C’ and point P(2,5) outside it. From the point P, a pair of tangents PQ and PR are drawn to the circle with S as the midpoint of QR. The line joining P to C intersects the given circle at A and B. Which of the following hold(s) good?

We have, radius =16+8193=2

CP=20;AP=202;BP=20+2 CP=AP+BP2

Now, Let  L=PR=(PC)2r2=204=4=PQ
and  tanθ=24=12
Also,  cosθ=PSPR
PS=PRcosθ=4.(25)=85

Harmonic mean between PA and PB

=2(202)(20+2)220=1625=85=PS Hence,  (PS)(PC)=(85)(20)=16=(PR)2

PR is the Geometric Mean of PS and PC
Now angle between the two tangents is 2θ, then 

2tan1(12)=tan1(2.12114)(Astanθ=12) =tan1(43)
