  1. AB is a chord to a circle and PAT is the tangent to the circle at A. If ∠BAT = 75° and ∠BAC = 45°, C being a point on the circle, then ∠ABC is equal to
    1. 40°
    2. 45°
    3. 60°
    4. 70°
Correct Option: C

On the basis of question we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,

If a line touches a circle and from the point of contact a chord is drawn, the angles which this chord makes with the given line are equal respe ctively to the angles formed in the corresponding alternate segments.
∴ ∠ACB = ∠BAT = 75° and ∠BAC = 45°
∠ABC = 180° – 45° – 75°= 60°
