The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(D): \( \frac{27}{10} \)

Equation of auxiliary circle is 
\(x^2 + y^2 =9\) 
Equation of AM is \(\frac{x}{3} +\frac{y}{1} = 1\) 
on solving Eq s (i) and (ii) , we get \(M \bigg( -\frac{12}{5} , \frac{9}{5} \bigg) .\) 

Now, area of A AOM = \(\frac{1}{2} .OA \times MN = \frac{27}{10} sq units\)
