According to question

To Prove: QORP is a cyclic quadrilateral.
OQ \perp PQ, OR \perp PR   (\because  PQ, PR are tangents)
Hence, \angle OQP+\angle ORP= 180^{\circ}\cdots (i)        
We know that the sum of the interior angles of the quadrilateral is 360^{\circ}
\angle OPQ+\angle OPR+\angle ORP+\angle ROQ= 360^{\circ} [Given (i)]
180^{\circ}+\angle QPR+\angle ROQ= 360^{\circ}

\angle QPR+\angle ROQ= 180^{\circ}
Here we found that the sum of opposite angles of the quadrilateral is 180^{\circ}
Hence QORP is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Hence proved
