  1. Two circles touch externally at P. QR is a common tangent of the circles touching the circles at Q and R. Then measure of ∠QPR is
    1. 60°
    2. 30°
    3. 90°
    4. 45°
Correct Option: C

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of two circles touch externally at P and QR is a common tangent of the circles touching the circles at Q and R ,

OQ = OP = OR
(Tangents drawn from the same external point)
∴ ∠ QPO = ∠ PQO = ∠ OPR
= ∠ PRO = 45° because ∠ POQ
= ∠ POR = 90°
∴ ∠ QPR = 45° + 45° = 90°
