AHSME 1960 Problem 35

    From point PP outside a circle, with a circumference of 1010 units, a tangent is drawn. Also from PP a secant is drawn dividing the circle into unequal arcs with lengths mm and nn. It is found that t1t_1, the length of the tangent, is the mean proportional between mm and nn. If mm and tt are integers, then tt may have the following number of values: (A) zero(B) one(C) two(D) three(E) infinitely many\textbf{(A)}\ \text{zero} \textbf{(B)}\ \text{one} \textbf{(C)}\ \text{two} \textbf{(D)}\ \text{three} \textbf{(E)}\ \text{infinitely many}
