Correct answer
A2

Step-by-step explanation


$\begin{aligned} & \text { Area of } \triangle \mathrm{AOB}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \text { Area of } \triangle \mathrm{AMN}=\frac{4}{9} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{9} \end{aligned}$ Equation of AB is $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{OA}=1, \mathrm{AM}=\sec \left(45^{\circ}-\theta\right) \\ & \mathrm{AN}=\sec \left(45^{\circ}-\theta\right) \cos \theta \\ & \mathrm{MN}=\sec \left(45^{\circ}-\theta\right) \sin \theta \end{aligned}$
