Detailed Solution

 Let x1,y1=at2,2at Tangent at this point is ty=x+at2

 Any point on this tangent is h,h+at2t

 Chord of contact of this point with respect to the circle x2+y2=a2 is: 

hx+h+at2ty=a2 or  at ya2+hx+yt=0

which is a family of straight lines passing through point of intersection of 

tya=0  and x+yt=0 So, the fixed point is at2,at x2=at2,y2=at. Clearly, x1x2=a2,y1y2=2a2.
