Detailed Solution

TP = TQ …(1)
⇒∠TQP=∠TPQ …(2)
OP is perpendicular to TP
⇒∠OPT= 90
⇒∠OPQ + ∠TPQ= 90
⇒∠TPQ= 90−∠OPQ …(3)
In triangle PTQ,
⇒∠TPQ + ∠PQT + ∠QTP = 180
90−∠OPQ +∠TPQ + ∠QTP = 180
⇒ 2(90−∠OPQ) + ∠QTP = 180
 180−2∠OPQ + ∠PTQ = 180
⇒ 2∠OPQ = ∠PTQ
⇒ 2(90− ∠OPQ) + ∠QTP = 180
 180− 2∠OPQ + ∠PTQ = 180
⇒ 2∠OPQ = ∠PTQ
Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with center O from an external point T. Then ∠PTQ= 2∠OPQ.
