  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let coordinate of point \(A \left( t ^{2}, 2 t \right) \quad(\because a =1)\) equation of tangent at point \(A\) \(y t=x+t^{2}\) centre of circle \((3,0)\) Now \(PD =\) radius \(\left|\frac{3-0+t^{2}}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}\right|=3\) \(\left(3+t^{2}\right)^{2}=9\left(1+t^{2}\right)\)…
