Solution

We cannot draw a tangent to a circle from a point inside the circle, All the lines passing throught that point will cut the circle at two points. So the number of tangents through P is zero.

Only one tangent can drawn through a point on the circle.

We can draw two tangents to a circle from a point outside the circle.
