Detailed Solution

 The curve is asin2θ,2asinθx=asin2θ,y=2asinθ 

Now, the equation of any tangent to the curve is,

y2asinθxasin2θ =1sinθ  ysinθ =x+asin2θ

  x-asin2θyasinθ=1

 Sum of intercepts =asin2θsinθ

=asinθ+122 -14

Which is maximum, when sinθ=1

i.e. ( Sum of intercept) max =2a

hence ,the maximum value of  the intercept made by the tangent to curve is 2a
