Correct answer
D2

Step-by-step explanation

At t= π 4 ,

x=212+2π4.12=2+π22=4+π22

y=212-2π4  12 = 2- π22=4-π22

dydx=2cost-2 cost+t (-sint)=2tsint

dxdt= -2sint+2 sint+tcost=2tcost

dydx=tant  at t=π4  dydx=tan π4=1

dydx=1 .

Slope of tangent is 1 & therefore slope of normal would be -1.  

Equation of normal  y- 4-π22= -1 x- 4+π22

x+y=4+π22+ 4-π22

x+y=822 

Distance from origin = -8222=2
