Given <ASB = 60°
Join OA, OB radii.
We know that ,
<AOB = 2<ASB
= 2×60°
= 120°
Now ,
In AOBP Quadrilateral ,
<OAP+<AOB+<OBP+<APB=360°
=> 90°+120°+90°+<APB=360°
=> 300° + <APB = 360°
=> <APB = 360° - 300°
=> <APB = 60°

ANGLE ASB + ANGLE SBP + ANGLE BPA + ANGLE PAS = 360* [ ANGLE SUM PROPERTY OF QUADRILATERALS]

ANGLE PAS = 90* [ RADIUS PERPENDICULAR TO TANGENT]

ANGLE SBP = 90* [ RADIUS PERPENDICULAR TO TANGENT]

ANGLE ASB = 60* [GIVEN]

THEREFORE,      60*+90*+90*+ANGLE APB = 360*

ANGLE APB = 360-240

                     = 120*


ariyanmishra1996: pas is not radius??
ariyanmishra1996: means AS and SB are not radii...
ariyanmishra1996: how can you say that angle PAS and angle SBP is 90°
