Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:Circle: (x-1)² + (y-3)² = 4. C= (1,3), r=2.
Length of tangent from P (-1,1) is L = √ (-1)²+1²-2 (-1)-6 (1)+6) = √ (1+1+2-6+6) = √4 = 2.Area of quadrilateral PACB = 2 * Area (PAC) = 2 * (1/2 * L * r) = 2*2=4.
AB is chord of contact. T=0 => -x+y- (x-1)-3 (y-1)+6=0 => -2x-2y+10=0 => x+y=5.
Distance of C from AB = |1+3-5|/√2 = 1/√2.
Length of AB = 2√ (r²-d²) = 2√ (4-1/2) = 2√ (7/2) = √14.
Area of ABD =?
