Correct answer
C. 4
Step-by-step solution
The given equation of circle is x^2+y^2=25 Centre is (0,0) and r=5 Now, QR aligned & = (-4-3)^2+(3-4)^2 =5 2 & O Q=O R=5 aligned aligned & ( QOR )= OQ ^2+ OR ^2- QR ^2 2 OQ OR = 25+25-50 2 5 5 =0 & QOR = 2 aligned We know the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by same arc at any point on the circle. Now, QOR =2 QPR 2 =2 QRP QPR = 4
