    In the figure, ABC is a triangle in which AB = AC. A circle through B touches AC at D and intersects AB at P. if D is the mid-point of AC, then find the value of AB.

    A)  2AP

    B)  3AP

    C)  4AP

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[AB=AC\] and \[AD=CD\] \[\therefore \] \[AB=2AD\] Now, since AD is a tangent. \[\therefore \] \[A{{D}^{2}}=AP\times AB\] \[\therefore \] \[{{\left( \frac{AB}{2} \right)}^{2}}=AP\times AB\] \[\therefore \] \[AB=4AP\]
