Using the 2 tangents line formula:


m\angle Q=(1)/(2)((360-mPR)-mPR)


\begin{gathered} 81x-1=(1)/(2)(360-2(100x)) \\ 81x-1=(1)/(2)(360-200x) \\ 81x-1=180-100x \\ \end{gathered}

Solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 81x+100x=1+180 \\ 181x=181 \\ x=(181)/(181) \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} mPR=100(1)_{} \\ mPR=100 \end{gathered}

Answer:

A. 100
