  1. First, draw a circle and connect two points A and B such that AB becomes the diameter of the circle. Now, draw two tangents PQ and RS at points A and B respectively.

    Ncert solutions class 10 chapter 10-6

    Now, both radii i.e. AO and OB are perpendicular to the tangents.

    So, OB is perpendicular to RS and OA perpendicular to PQ

    So, ∠OAP = ∠OAQ = ∠OBR = ∠OBS = 90°

    From the above figure, angles OBR and OAQ are alternate interior angles.

    Also, ∠OBR = ∠OAQ and ∠OBS = ∠OAP (Since they are also alternate interior angles)

    So, it can be said that line PQ and the line RS will be parallel to each other. (Hence Proved).
