Let us consider two tangents AB and BC with centre at O.
We know that angle AOC and angle ABC are supplementary.
Now,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle AOC=360-226 \\ =134^o \end{gathered}[/tex]
Now,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle AOC+\angle ABC=180 \\ 134+y=180 \\ y=46 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is (A)
