Answer

Let l and m be tangents to circle with center O, touching the circle at point A and B.

In a circle with radius R, the shortest distance between two parallel tangents is equal to : ICSE 2024 Maths Specimen Solved Question Paper.

From figure,

Shortest distance between tangents = OA + OB = R + R = 2R.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
