Answer : (d) 135º
Since the tangents drawn on the two given circles, from the same external point are equal, CA = CB
⇒ ∠CAB = ∠CBA = x (say)
In ∆ CAB, 45° + x + x = 180°
⇒ 2x = 135°
⇒ x = 67\(\frac{1}{2}\)º
∠AQP = ∠BQP
= x = 67\(\frac{1}{2}\)º (Alternate Segment Theorem)
∠AQB = ∠AQP + ∠BQP = 67\(\frac{1}{2}\)º + 67\(\frac{1}{2}\)º = 135º
