Correct Answer: BP = PC
Solution : We know, AB, BC, and AC are tangents to the circle. Let AB, BC, and AC touch the circle at points Q, P, and R respectively. So, AQ = AR = a (say) (length of tangents from the same point are equal) And BQ = BP = b (say) (length of tangents from the same point are equal) And CP = CR = c (say) (length of tangents from the same point are equal) Now, AB = a + b and AC = a + c Since AB = AC, a + b = b + c Or, a = c Hence, the correct answer is BP = PC.
