Let a parabola P be such that its vertex and focus lie on the positive x-axis at a distance 2 and 4 units from the origin, respectively. If tangents are drawn from O(0, 0) to the parabola P which meet P at S and R, then the area (in sq. units) of ΔSOR is equal to:

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

Vertex (2,0), Focus (4,0). Parabola y²=4a (x-h) = 4 (2) (x-2) = 8 (x-2).
Tangents from O (0,0): T²=SS? (y (0)-4 (x+0)+16)²= (0-0+16) (y²-8x+16). No, this is for point on tangent.
Equation of tangent y=mx+a/m = m (x-2)+2/m. Passes through (0,0) so -2m+2/m=0 ⇒ m=±1.
Tangents y=x, y=-x. Points of contact
