$A$ circle is described whose centre is the vertex and whose diameter is three-quarters of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$. If $PQ$ is the common chord of the circle and the parabola and $L_1L_2$ is the latus rectum,then the area of the trapezium $PL_1L_2Q$ is:

  • A
    $3\sqrt{2}a^2$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{2}\right)a^2$
  • C
    $4a^2$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{2+\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)a^2$
