Which of the following statements is not true?

Question:

Which of the following statements is not true?
(a) If a point P lies inside a circle, no tangent can be drawn to the circle passing through P.
(b) If a point P lies on a circle, then one and only one tangent can be drawn to the circle at P.
(c) If a point P lies outside a circle, then only two tangents can be drawn to the circle from P.
(d) A circle can have more than two parallel tangents parallel to a given line.

 

Solution:

(d) A circle can have more than two parallel tangents, parallel to a given line.
This statement is false because there can only be two parallel tangents to the given line in a circle.
