Options

  1. A12\dfrac{1}{2}
  2. B23\dfrac{2}{3}
  3. C16\dfrac{1}{6}
  4. D53\dfrac{5}{3}

Correct answer

C. 16\dfrac{1}{6}

Step-by-step solution

Let O(3,2)O\left(3, 2\right) be the centre of the circle C2{C}_{2}.

The tangent to the circle C1:x2+y2−2=0{C}_{1}: {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 2 = 0 at M(−1,1)M\left(- 1, 1\right) is x−y+2=0x - y + 2 = 0

Now the perpendicular distance from OO to the tangent is OP=∣3−2+22∣=32OP = \left|\dfrac{3 - 2 + 2}{\sqrt{2}}\right| = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}

Let the tangent to the circle C _ 1 : x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 2 at the point M(- 1, 1) intersect the circle C _ 2 : (x - 3) ^ 2

Also AP=OA2−OP2=5−92AP = \sqrt{O{A}^{2} - O{P}^{2}} = \sqrt{5 - \dfrac{9}{2}}

=12= \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Now tanθ=OPAP=3tan\theta = \dfrac{OP}{AP} = 3

∴sinθ=310=APAN and cosθ=110∴ sin\theta = \dfrac{3}{\sqrt{10}} = \dfrac{AP}{AN} \text{ and } cos\theta = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}}

⇒AN=103AP=103×12=53=BN⇒ AN = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{3}AP = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{5}}{3} = BN

Area of δANB=12⋅(AN2)sin⁡2θ=12×109×35=16\delta ANB = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \left(A{N}^{2}\right)\sin 2\theta = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{10}{9} \times \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{1}{6}
