Detailed Solution

 Radius =16+8193=2CP=20;AP=202;BP=20+2CP=AP+BP2A is correct

 Now, let L=PR=(PC)2r2=204=4=PQ;tanθ=24=12 Also cosθ=PSPRPS=PRcosθ=4.25=85 Harmonic Mean between PA and PB =2(202)(20+2)220=1625=85=PSC is correct

 Hence (PS)(PC)=85(20)=16=(PR)2 PR is the Geometric Mean of PS and PCB is correct 

 Now angle between the two tangents is 2θ, then  As tanθ=122tan112=tan1212114=tan143D is incorrect
