उत्तर

Given: ∠MPN = 40°

The line perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its outer end is a tangent to the circle.

∠PMQ = 90°       and       ∠QNP = 90°

The sum of the measures of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

∠MPN + ∠PMQ + ∠QNP + ∠MQN = 360°

40° + 90° + 90° + ∠MQN = 360°

220° + ∠MQN = 360°

∠MQN = 360° - 220°

∠MQN = 140°
