Question : Select the correct option concerning the given statement.
Two tangents are drawn at the end of the diameter of a circle.
Option 1: They intersect each other.
Option 2: They pass through the origin.
Option 3: They are parallel to each other.
Option 4: They are perpendicular to each other.
Correct Answer: They are parallel to each other.
Solution :
The correct option concerning the given statement is:
3. They are parallel to each other.
This is because two tangents drawn at the ends of the diameter of a circle are always parallel to each other. This is a property of circles in geometry. The reason is that a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius at that point. Since the diameter is a straight line, the two tangents are parallel.
Hence, the correct answer is 'They are parallel to each other'.
