Question

Tangents drawn at the end points of a diameter are

• A. Perpendicular
• B. Parallel
• C. Intersecting
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Parallel

We know, the angle made by the radius and the tangent at the point where the tangents meet each other is ${90}^{\circ }$
Now, the angle at both the end points of the diameter will be ${90}^{\circ }$
Thus, sum of angles between the two lines will be = $90+90={180}^{\circ }$
Now, since the angles between the two lines will be 180 hence, the two lines will be parallel.
