    Solution:

    The given equation of parabola is  y2=4x               …(i)

    and circle is  x2+y2=5                                           …(ii)

    From (i) and (ii), x2+4x5=0

    (x+5)(x1)=0x=1 or -5

     x=1 and y=2   [x and y in 1st quadrant] 

     Equation of tangent at (1, 2) to the parabola y2=4x is y(2)=2(x+1)y=x+1

    From the options, we see that point (3/4,7/4) given in option (2) satisfy the equation of tangent.
