Join OC
In Δ OPA and Δ OCA
OP = OC (radii of same circle)
PA = CA (length of two tangents from an external point)
AO = AO (Common)
Therefore, Δ OPA ≅ Δ OCA (By SSS congruency criterion)
Hence, ∠ 1 = ∠ 2 (CPCT)
Similarly ∠ 3 = ∠ 4
∠PAB + ∠QBA =180°(co interior angles are supplementary as XY∥X’Y’)
2∠2 + 2∠4 = 180°
∠2 + ∠4 = 90°-------------------------(1)
∠2 + ∠4 +∠AOB = 180° (Angle sum property)
Using (1), we get, ∠AOB = 90°
