Given, P is the center of the circle. OR is tangent to the circle at Q.
Again, AB is the diameter of the circle and AQ || PR.
From the figure,
In ΔAPQ,
AP = PQ {Radius of the circle}
∠1 = ∠2 {since in a triangle, equal sides have equal angles opposite to them}
Again given,
AQ || PR
So, ∠1 = ∠3 {pair of corresponding angles}
∠2 = ∠4 {pair of alternate angles}
So, ∠3 = ∠4 ( since ∠1 = ∠2 )
Now, from Δ PQR and Δ PBR
PQ = PB {radius of the circle}
∠3 = ∠4 {Proved}
PR = PR {common}
By SSS congrience criterian,
Δ PQR ≅ Δ PBR
So, by CPCT
∠ PQR = ∠ PBR
Now, ∠ PQR = 90 {since radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact}
So, ∠ PBR = 90
Hence, BR is a tangent to the circle.
