Correct Answer: 60°
Solution : Given: $\angle POQ=120°$ We know that the angle formed by the line segment between the point of contact at the centre and the two tangents drawn from an outside point to the circle are supplementary angles. So, $\angle PRQ = 180°- 120° = 60°$ Hence, the correct answer is 60°.

Question : Let P and Q be two points on a circle with centre O. If two tangents of the circle through P and Q meet at A with $\angle PAQ=48^{\circ}$, then $\angle APQ$ is:
Question : AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O. If P is a point on the circle such that $\angle$AOP=110°, then the measure of $\angle$OBP is:
Question : In a circle with centre O, AB is a diameter and CD is a chord which is equal to the radius OC. AC and BD are extended in such a way that they intersect each other at a point P, exterior to the circle. The measure of $\angle$APB is:
Question : S and T are points on the sides PQ and PR, respectively, of $\triangle$PQR such that PS × PR = PQ × PT. If $\angle$Q = 96° and $\angle$PST = $\angle$PRQ + 34°, then $\angle$QPR = ?
Question : AB and CD are two chords in a circle with centre O and AD is a diameter. AB and CD produced meet a point P outside the circle. If $\angle A P D=25^{\circ}$ and $\angle D A P=39^{\circ}$, then the measure of $\angle C B D$ is:
