Question

There is a circle with center O. P is a point from where only one tangent can be drawn to this circle. What can we say about P?

Options

• O and P are co-incident points.

• P is on the circle.

• P is inside the circle.

• P is outside the circle

Answer 1

P is on the circle.

Explanation:-

Since only one tangent can be drawn, this point P should be present on the circle.

Any point on the circle is at a distance equal to the radius of the circle. So OP is equal to the radius of the circle.
