By appropriately matching the information given in the three columns of the following table.

Columns 1, 2 and 3 contain conics, equations of tangents to the conics and points of contact, respectively.

Column - 1 Column - 2 Column - 3
(i) x2+y2=a{x^2} + {y^2} = ax2+y2=a my=m2x+amy = {m^2}x + amy=m2x+a (am2, 2am)\left( {{a \over {{m^2}}},\,{{2a} \over m}} \right)(m2a​,m2a​)

Correct answer: B

Let the given tangent be 3x+2y=4.\sqrt{3}x+2y=4.3​x+2y=4. First rewrite it in slope form: 2y=−3x+4  ⟹  y=−32x+2.2y=-\sqrt{3}x+4 \implies y=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x+2.2y=−3​x+4⟹y=−23​​x+2. So the slope is m=−32.m=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.m=−23​​. The given point of contact is (3,12).\left(\sqrt{3},\frac12\right).(3​,21​).

We now match this with the entries in the columns.


1. Identify the conic from Column 3 (point of contact)

We test which point-of-contact formula can produce (3,12).\left(\sqrt{3},\frac12\right).(3​,21​).

Case (R):

(−a2ma2m2+1,1a2m2+1)\left(\frac{-a^2m}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}}\right)(a2m2+1​−a2m​,a2m2+1​1​) Using m=−32m=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}m=−23​​ and equating the second coordinate to 12\frac1221​: 1a2m2+1=12\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}}=\frac12a2m2+1​1​=21​ a2m2+1=2\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}=2a2m2+1​=2 a2m2=3.a^2m^2=3.a2m2=3. Since m2=34,m^2=\frac34,m2=43​, we get a2⋅34=3  ⟹  a2=4  ⟹  a=2.a^2\cdot \frac34=3 \implies a^2=4 \implies a=2.a2⋅43​=3⟹a2=4⟹a=2. Now check the first coordinate: \frac{-a^2m}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}}= rac{-4\left(-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)}{2}=\sqrt3, which matches.

So the point corresponds to (R).


2. Identify the tangent equation from Column 2

Now test with m=−32m=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}m=−23​​ and a=2a=2a=2.

Equation (iv):

y=mx+am2+1y=mx+a\sqrt{m^2+1}y=mx+am2+1​ Substitute values: y=−32x+234+1y=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+2\sqrt{\frac34+1}y=−23​​x+243​+1​ =−32x+274= -\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+2\sqrt{\frac74}=−23​​x+247​​ =−32x+7,= -\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+\sqrt7,=−23​​x+7​, not our line.

Equation (ii):

my=m2x+amy=m^2x+amy=m2x+a Substitute m=−32m=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}m=−23​​ and a=2a=2a=2: −32y=34x+2.-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}y=\frac34x+2.−23​​y=43​x+2. This is not the given line.

Equation (iii):

y=mx+a2m2−1y=mx+\sqrt{a^2m^2-1}y=mx+a2m2−1​ Substitute a=2a=2a=2: y=−32x+4⋅34−1y=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+\sqrt{4\cdot\frac34-1}y=−23​​x+4⋅43​−1​ =−32x+3−1= -\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+\sqrt{3-1}=−23​​x+3−1​ =−32x+2,= -\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+\sqrt2,=−23​​x+2​, not our line.

Equation (iv) of hyperbola-type entry in standard matching

For conic x2−a2y2=a2x^2-a^2y^2=a^2x2−a2y2=a2, tangent of slope mmm is y=mx+a2m2−1.y=mx+\sqrt{a^2m^2-1}.y=mx+a2m2−1​. Now with a=2a=2a=2 and m=−32m=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}m=−23​​: y=−32x+4⋅34−1y=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+\sqrt{4\cdot\frac34-1}y=−23​​x+4⋅43​−1​ =−32x+2,= -\frac{\sqrt3}{2}x+\sqrt2,=−23​​x+2​, again not the given line.

So instead let us identify directly from the conic using the point.


3. Determine which conic passes through the point and has the given tangent

Option labels suggest checking Column 1 entries.

Conic (II):

This is the ellipse x2+a2y2=a2.x^2+a^2y^2=a^2.x2+a2y2=a2. At the point (3,12)\left(\sqrt3,\frac12\right)(3​,21​), 3+a2⋅14=a23+a^2\cdot\frac14=a^23+a2⋅41​=a2 3=34a23=\frac34a^23=43​a2 a2=4  ⟹  a=2.a^2=4 \implies a=2.a2=4⟹a=2. So the ellipse is x2+4y2=4.x^2+4y^2=4.x2+4y2=4. Tangent to x2+4y2=4x^2+4y^2=4x2+4y2=4 at (x1,y1)(x_1,y_1)(x1​,y1​) is xx1+4yy1=4.xx_1+4yy_1=4.xx1​+4yy1​=4. At (3,12)\left(\sqrt3,\frac12\right)(3​,21​): 3x+4y⋅12=4\sqrt3 x+4y\cdot\frac12=43​x+4y⋅21​=4 3x+2y=4,\sqrt3 x+2y=4,3​x+2y=4, which matches exactly.

Hence the conic is (II).


4. Match the tangent formula and point formula for this conic

For ellipse x2+a2y2=a2,x^2+a^2y^2=a^2,x2+a2y2=a2, its tangent of slope mmm is y=mx+a2m2+1,y=mx+\sqrt{a^2m^2+1},y=mx+a2m2+1​, which is entry (iv) in Column 2.

Its point of contact corresponding to slope-form tangent is (−a2ma2m2+1,1a2m2+1),\left(\frac{-a^2m}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}}\right),(a2m2+1​−a2m​,a2m2+1​1​), which is (R) in Column 3.

Thus the correct combination is (II),(iv),(R).(II),(iv),(R).(II),(iv),(R).


5. Final answer

Therefore the only correct option is B.\boxed{\text{B}}.B​.
