The range of values of λ,λ>0 such that the angleθ between the pair of tangents drawn from(λ,0) to the circle x2+y2=4 lies in (π/2,2π/3) is

A
$(4 / \sqrt{3}, 2 \sqrt{2})$
B
$(0, \sqrt{2})$
C
$(1, 2)$
D
none of these

Solution:

we have $\frac{π}{2} < θ < \frac{2 π}{3}, i.e., \frac{π}{4} < \frac{θ}{2} < \frac{π}{3}$
or $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} < \sin \frac{θ}{2} < \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
But $\sin \frac{θ}{2} = \frac{2}{λ} or \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} < \frac{2}{λ} < \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
or $\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}} < λ < 2 \sqrt{2}$
