Consider the ellipse x2/4 + y2/3 = 1. Let H (α, 0), 0 < α < 2 , be a point. A straight line drawn through H parallel to y-axis crosses the ellipse and its auxiliary circle at points E and F respectively, in the first quadrant. The tangents to the ellipse at the point E intersects the positive x-axis at a point G. Suppose the straight line joining F and the origin makes an angle ϕ with the positive x-axis.

List-I List-II
(I) If ϕ = π/4 , then the area of the triangle FGH is (P) \(\frac{(\sqrt{3}-1)^4}{8}\)
(II) If ϕ = π/4, then the area of the triangle FGH is (Q) 1
(III) If ϕ = π/6 , then the area of the triangle FGH is (R) 3/4
(IV) If ϕ = π/12 , then the area of the triangle FGH is (S) \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}\)
(T) \(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

The correct option is:

(A) (I) → (R); (II) → (S); (III) → (Q); (IV) → (P)

(B) (I) → (R); (II) → (T); (III) → (S); (IV) → (P)

(C) (1)→(Q); (II) → (T); (III) → (S); (IV) → (P)

(D) (I) → (Q); (II) → (S); (III) → (Q); (IV) → (P)
