A point lies inside a circle. How many tangents to the circle can pass through that point? 
A0
B1
C2
D3
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 0
Every line through a point inside the circle cuts the circle at two points, so such a line is a secant, not a tangent. Hence no tangent can pass through a point inside the circle.
