Which is not in options therefore it must be bonus. But according to history of JEE-Mains it seems they had following line of thinking
Given curves are y=4−x2 and y=|x|
There are two circles satisfying the given conditions. The circle shown is of least area.
Let radius of circle is 'r
∴ co-ordinates of centre =(0,4–r)
∵circle touches the line y = x in first quadrant
∴|

0−(4−r)

|=r⇒r−4=±r√2
∴r=4(√2−1)which is given in option 4.
