A tangent PQ at a point P of a circle of radius 5 cm meets a line through the center O at a point Q so that OQ = 12 cm. Length PQ is :
In ΔOPQ, angle P is right angle. [Since radius is perpendicular to tangent] Using Pythagoras theorem, OQ² = PQ² + OP² ⇒ 12² = PQ² + 5² ⇒ 144 = PQ² + 25 ⇒ PQ² = 144 - 25 = 119 ⇒ PQ = √119 Hence, the option (D) is correct.
