JEE Main 2025 (Online) 3rd April Evening Shift | Ellipse Question 22 | Mathematics

Let $C$ be the circle of minimum area enclosing the ellipse $E: \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ with eccentricity $\frac{1}{2}$ and foci $( \pm 2,0)$. Let $P Q R$ be a variable triangle, whose vertex $P$ is on the circle $C$ and the side $Q R$ of length $2 a$ is parallel to the major axis of $E$ and contains the point of intersection of $E$ with the negative $y$-axis. Then the maximum area of the triangle $P Q R$ is :

$8(3+\sqrt{2})$

$8(2+\sqrt{3})$

$6(3+\sqrt{2})$
