Let the tangents at two points AA and BB on the circle x2+y2−4x+3=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 4x + 3 = 0 meet at origin O(0,0)O\left(0, 0\right). Then the area of the triangle of OABOAB isLet the tangents at two points A and B on the circle x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 4x + 3 = 0 meet at origin O(0, 0) . Then the area

Options

  1. A332\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}
  2. B334\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}
  3. C323\dfrac{3}{2\sqrt{3}}
  4. D343\dfrac{3}{4\sqrt{3}}

Correct answer

B. 334\dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}

Step-by-step solution

Given the tangents at two points AA and BB on the circle x2+y2−4x+3=0{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 4x + 3 = 0 meet at origin O(0,0)O\left(0, 0\right),

Plotting the diagram we get,

Let the tangents at two points A and B on the circle x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 4x + 3 = 0 meet at origin O(0, 0) . Then the area

Now circle C:(x−2)2+y2=1C: {\left(x - 2\right)}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1

Equation of chord ABAB is given by T=0T = 0 i.e x×0+y×0−4(x+02)+3=0x \times 0 + y \times 0 - 4\left(\dfrac{x + 0}{2}\right) + 3 = 0

⇒AB:2x=3⇒ AB: 2x = 3

Now OA=OB=02+02−4×0+3=3OA = OB = \sqrt{{0}^{2} + {0}^{2} - 4 \times 0 + 3} = \sqrt{3}

So, AM=OA2−OM2=3−94=34=32AM = \sqrt{O{A}^{2} - O{M}^{2}} = \sqrt{3 - \dfrac{9}{4}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Now area of triangle OAB=12(2AM)(OM)OAB = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(2AM\right)\left(OM\right)

=334= \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4} sq. units
