If the tangent and the normal at the point \((\sqrt{3}, 1)\) to the circle \(x^2+\mathrm{y}^2=4\), and the X -axis form a triangle, then the area (in sq.units) of this triangle is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent equation: \(x x_1 + y y_1 = r^2\) \(x(\sqrt{3}) + y(1) = 4\)
