  1. P and Q are two points on a circle with centre at O. R is a point on the minor arc of the circle, between the points P and Q. The tangents to the circle at the points P and Q meet each other at the point S. If ∠PSQ = 20°, then ∠PRQ = ?
    1. 80°
    2. 200°
    3. 160°
    4. 100°
Correct Option: D

According to question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,

∠OPS = ∠OQS = 90°
Given , ∠PSQ = 20°;
∴ ∠POQ = 160°
[∠PSQ + ∠POQ = 180°]
⇒ ∠PTQ = 80°
PRQT is a concyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠PRQ = 180° – 80° = 100°
