Correct Answer: 67.5
Solution : Given that the tangents from an external point to a circle are equal in length. Such that $QS = QT$ and $RU = RT$. Assume that the $\angle SQO$, $\angle OQT$, $\angle TRO$, and $\angle ORU$ as $x$. Such that $\angle PQR=\angle PRQ=180^{\circ} - 2x$. In $\triangle PQR$, $\angle PQR+\angle PRQ+\angle QPR=180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $(180^{\circ} - 2x)+(180^{\circ} - 2x)+45^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $x=56.25^{\circ}$ In $\triangle OQR$, ⇒ $x+x+\angle OQR=180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $2x+\angle OQR=180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $2(56.25^{\circ}) +\angle OQR=180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle QOR=67.5^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is 67.5.
