JEE Main 26 Feb 2021 Shift 1 Solved Paper

Given, OA=1 unit, OB=13 unit Since, OB is diameter of circle. Then, radius(r)=13∕2=6.5 unitsDraw a line joining points P and C, where C is the centre of the given circle.
Then, PC= radius of circle =6.5 units
OC= radius of circle =6.5 units
Now, AC=OC−OA=6.5−1=5.5 unit
Then, using Pythagoras theorem,
(PA)2‌‌=(PC)2−(AC)2
‌‌=(6.5)2−(5.5)2
‌‌=(6.5−5.5)(6.5+5.5)
‌‌=(1)(12)=12
∴‌‌PA‌‌=√12
‌ Then, ‌PQ‌‌=2PA=2√12
‌ Hence, area of ‌△PQB=‌
