Solution

Given that APB=θ, we have also been given that PA and PB are tangents.
Thus since angle between radius and tangent is 900(B1),we get AOB to be 180θ as sum of all angles of a quadrilateral(PAOB) is 3600.
D4.
Now triangle OAB is isosceles.
OAB =OBA=θ/2.Thus C2.
PAO=PAB+BAO
900=PAB+θ/2
Thus A3.
