Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

The region represented by will be region outside and on circle with centre and radius
Let
Now, for to be maximum, must be minimum.
We need to find the which is in given region and nearest to point hence nearest point from will be on the line joining and
