The tangent to the curve y=1−x2y=1-x^2 at x=αx=\alpha, where 0<α<10<\alpha<1, meets the axes at PP and QQ. If α\alpha varies and the minimum area of △OPQ\triangle OPQ is kk times the area bounded by the axes and the part of the curve for 0<x<10<x<1, then kk is equal to (1) 23\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} (2) 7516\frac{75}{16} (3) 2518\frac{25}{18} (4) 23\frac{2}{3}
