Answer:

The correct option is c.

Explanation:

According to the Angle Formed Outside of Circle by Intersection property,


\text{Angle Formed by Two Tangents}=(1)/(2)(\text{Differecen of Intercepted Arcs})

It is given that the major intercepted arc is x. So, the minor intercepted arc is 360-x.


\text{Angle Formed by Two Tangents}=(1)/(2)(x-(360-x))


90=(1)/(2)(2x-360)


90=x-180


90+180=x


270=x

The value of x is 270 degrees, therefore the correct option is c.
