A circle can have infinite pairs of parallel tangents but as far only one tangent is considered, it can have only one tangent parallel to it.

infinite

A circle can have infinite tangent and every 1 tangent will be parallel to the another 1, in this way there will be half the total number of tangents. i.e. infinity X 1/2 PARALLEL TANGENTS...  in my opinion..

in class and in the NCERT book, ex- 10.1 q2(iii), the answer is two tangents. pl explain why not infinite or one?

 a circle can have infinitely many tangents. but one tangent can only have one parallel tangent to it.

the answer is two only as if we consider any point on the circumference then there is only one tangent passing through it and also a tangent can only have 1 tangent parallel to it thus there r only two parallel tangents in a circle
