An acute triangle PQR is inscribed in the circle `x^2+y^2= 25`. If Q and R have coordinates (3, 4) and (-4, 3) respectively, then find `/_QPR`.

A

`pi//2`

B

`pi//3`

C

`pi//4`

D

`pi//6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let O be the centre of the circle. Then, `angle(QOR)=90^(@)`
Hence, `angleQOP=(pi)/(4)`.
