5.Assertion: If length of a tangent from an external point to a circle is 8 cm,
thenlength of the other tangent from the same point is 8 cm.
Reason: Length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
6.Assertion : If a chord AB subtends an angle of 600 at the centre of a circle, then the
angle between the tangents at A and B is also 600.
Reason : The length of the tangent from an external points P on a circle with centre
O isalways less than OP.
