Tangents are drawn to the circle x2+y2=50x^2 + y^2 = 50 from a point 'P' lying on the X-axis. These tangents meet the Y-axis at points 'P_1' and 'P_2'. Possible coordinates of 'P' so that area of triangle PP_1P_2 is minimum, is a. (10, 0) b. (102,0)(10\sqrt{2}, 0) c. (−102,0)(-10\sqrt{2}, 0) d. (103,0)(10\sqrt{3}, 0)
