Explanation:
$\therefore$ ${M_1}{M_2} = {1 \over 2}QQ'$

Maximum value of QQ' is AA'
Hence, maximum value of ${M_1}{M_2} = {1 \over 2}AA' = 4$
Explanation:
We will consider three cases
Case 1 : Circle passes through origin, that is, p = 0 the equation of circle becomes
x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y = 0
x = 0 $\Rightarrow$ y2 + 4y = 0 $\Rightarrow$ y(y + 4) = 0
y = 0, $-$4
y = 0 $\Rightarrow$ x2 + 2x = 0 $\Rightarrow$ x(x + 2) = 0 $\Rightarrow$ x = 0, $-$ 2

Case 2 : Circle touches y axis then circle will intersect x axis at two distinct points
Put y = 0 in equation of circle, we get
x2 + 2x $-$ p = 0
Now from g2 $-$ c > 0 and f2 $-$ c = 0
$\Rightarrow$ 12 $-$ ($-$p) > 0 and 22 $-$ ($-$p) = 0
1 + p > 0 and 4 + p = 0
p > $-$1 and p = $-$ 4
which is a contradiction. Also, for p = $-$4 we get
x2 $-$ 2x + 4 = 0
$x = {{2 \pm \sqrt {4 - 4 \times 4} } \over 2} = {{2 \pm 2\sqrt 3 i} \over 2} = 1 \pm \sqrt 3 i$
They are imaginary roots.
Therefore, Case 2 is not possible.

Case 3 : Circle touches x axis. Then the circle will intersect y axis at two distinct points.
Substituting x = 0, we get
y2 + 4y $-$ p = 0
Now, from g2 $-$ C = 0 and f2 $-$ C > 0, we have
12 $-$ ($-$p) = 0 and 22 = ($-$p) > 0
p = $-$1 and 4 + p > 0 $\Rightarrow$ p > $-$4

Therefore, the equation of circle becomes
y2 + 4y + 1 = 0
$ \Rightarrow y = {{ - 4 \pm \sqrt {16 - 4} } \over 2} = {{ - 4 \pm \sqrt {12} } \over 2}$
$y = {{ - 4 \pm \sqrt {4 \times 3} } \over 2}$
$ = {{ - 4 \pm 2\sqrt 3 } \over 2} = - 2 \pm \sqrt 3 $ real values
Thus, Case 3 is possible.
Thus, for p = 0 and p = $-$1 the circle and coordinates have exactly three points in common. Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Explanation:

A vertical line passing through $(h, 0)$ is $x=h$ and this vertical line intersect the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$ at P and Q.
Put $x=h$ in the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{h^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1 \\ & \Rightarrow y= \pm \sqrt{3-\frac{3 h^2}{4}} \end{aligned}$
So $\mathrm{P}=\left(h, \sqrt{3-\frac{3 h^2}{4}}\right)$ and $\mathrm{Q}=\left(h,-\sqrt{3-\frac{3 h^2}{4}}\right)$
Equation of tangent of ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$ at P is
$\frac{h x}{4}+\frac{y}{3} \sqrt{3-\frac{3 h^2}{4}}=1 \quad \text{... (i)}$
Equation of tangent of ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$ at Q is
$\frac{h x}{4}-\frac{y}{3} \sqrt{3-\frac{3 h^2}{4}}=1 \quad \text{... (ii)}$
Given, $R$ is the point of intersection of tangents at $P$ and at $Q$.
On solving the equations (i) and (ii)
$\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{R}=\left(\frac{8}{h}, 0\right)$
Given, $\Delta(h)=$ Area of $\Delta \mathrm{PQR}$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad \Delta(h) & =\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{8}{h}-h\right) \cdot 2 \sqrt{3-\frac{3 h^2}{4}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \Delta(h) & =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(\frac{8}{h}-h\right) \sqrt{4-h^2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}= & \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(\frac{-8}{h^2}-1\right) \sqrt{4-h^2} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(\frac{8}{h}-h\right) \cdot \frac{(-2 h)}{2 \sqrt{4-h^2}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}= & \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{4-h^2}} \\ & {\left[\left(\frac{8}{h^2}+1\right)\left(4-h^2\right)+\left(\frac{8}{h}-h\right) h\right] } \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{4-h^2}}\left[\frac{32}{h^2}-8+4-\hbar^2+8-h^2\right] \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{4-h^2}}\left[-2 h^2+\frac{32}{h^2}+4\right] \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{h^2 \sqrt{4-h^2}}\left[h^4-2 h^2-16\right] \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{h^2 \sqrt{4-h^2}}\left[\left(h^2-1\right)^2-17\right] \end{aligned}$
For, $\frac{1}{2} \leq h \leq 1, \quad \frac{d \Delta(h)}{d h}<0$
$\therefore \quad \Delta(h)$ is a decreasing function for $x \in\left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$
$\Rightarrow \Delta(1) \leq \Delta(h) \leq \Delta\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
Given $\quad \Delta_1=\max _{\frac{1}{2} \leq h \leq 1} \Delta(h)$ and
$\begin{aligned} \Delta_2 & =\min _{\frac{1}{2} \leq h \leq 1} \Delta(h) \\ \Rightarrow \quad \Delta_1 & =\Delta\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \text { and } \Delta_2=\Delta(1) \\ \Rightarrow \quad \Delta_1 & =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(16-\frac{1}{2}\right) \sqrt{4-\frac{1}{4}} \text { and } \\ \Delta_2 & =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(8-1) \sqrt{4-1} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \Delta_1 & =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{31}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{3}}{2} \text { and } \Delta_2=\frac{21}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{8 \Delta_1}{\sqrt{5}} & =93 \text { and } 8 \Delta_2=84 \end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{8 \Delta_1}{\sqrt{5}}-8 \Delta_2=9$
Hints:
(i) If $f(x)$ is a decreasing function in $x \in[a, b]$, then $f(b) \leq f(x) \leq f(a)$
(ii) If $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ is a point on the curve $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$, then equation of tangent at $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ is $\frac{x x_1}{a^2}+\frac{y y_1}{b^2}=1$.
