Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. The tangents to the circle at the points A and C on it, intersect at P. If $\angle\mathrm{ABC}=98^{\circ}$, then what is the measure of $\angle \mathrm{APC}$ ?

Option 1: 22°

Option 2: 26°

Option 3: 16°

Option 4: 14°

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 16°


Solution :
$\angle$ABC = 98º
$\angle$ABC + $\angle$CDA = 180º (Property of cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ $\angle$CDA = 180º – 98º = 82º
So, $\angle$AOC = 2 × $\angle$ADC (the angle at the centre is double that on the circumference by the same arc)
= 2 × 82º
