In the circle with centre O and A,B,C are the points on the circle, angle AOB = 60^(@) . Find angle ACB

The centre of the circle is O. Two tangents are drawn from the point of the circle A & B, which meets at the point P. Accordingly if angleAOB=120^(@) , then find out the ratio of angleAPB:angleAOP ?
