Solution

The correct option is C a2
Let p(acosθ,asinθ) is a point on x2+y2=a2 on circle x2+y2=a2
and Let x=a and x=-a are two porated targets of x2+y2=a2 circle
so eqn of tangent at p ca casa, business is given by
x cos a+y sin a =a
and x=a, and x=-a , are two parallel tangent
from 1& 2
y=a(1cosa)sina, x=a A(a,atana/2)
from 1,3,
s=-a and y=a(1+casa)sinaB(a,acota/2).
atana/2=PA=a2(cosa1)2+a2(sinatara/2)2
acota/2=PB=a2(cosa+1)2+a2(sinacota/2)2
so , PA,PB=a2
