Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A line that intersects two distinct points of a circle is called a tangent.
As we know,
A secant is a line that intersects a circle at 2 distinct points, whereas a chord is a line segment that joins 2 points on a circle.
A line that touches a circle at just one point is called a tangent.
The radius of the point of tangency is always perpendicular to the tangent.
Hence, option 3 is incorrect
