Question

Maximum number of tangents parallel to a given secant of a circle are four.

• A. 1
• B. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2

Take any secant like AB as shown, we can either draw a tangent below it or above it. So there is no other way in which we can draw a tangent parallel to a given secant. $\therefore$ the answer is 2 not 4.
