Correct Answer: 27°
Solution : We have to find $\angle AOB$. In quadrilateral APBO, $\angle A = \angle B = 90°$ Now, $\angle P + \angle A + \angle B + \angle O = 360°$ ⇒ $54° + 90° + 90° + \angle O = 360°$ ⇒ $\angle O = 126°$ Now, in $\triangle AOB$ $\angle OBA + \angle OAB + \angle AOB = 180°$ Now, $\angle OBA$ and $\angle OAB$ will be equal as the tangents subtends equal angles. ⇒ $2\angle OBA = 180° - 126°$ ⇒ $2\angle OBA = 54°$ ⇒ $\angle OBA = 27°$ Hence, the correct answer is 27°.
