Solution

The correct option is B (I)(ii)(Q)
For a=2 and point (1,1) on the curve is x2+y2=a2, equation of tangent is y=mx+am2+1 and point of contact is (mam2+1,am2+1)

The correct combination of curve, tangent and point of contact is given in the table below:
(I)(ii)(Q)(II)(iv)(R)(III)(i)(P)(IV)(iii)(S)
