Area of  Δ APA′  will be   maximum  when  the   height  of  triangle will be  maximum as the  base  is  fixed.   Maximum height   will be equal to  b .

Maximum area of   \mathrm{\triangle \mathrm{APA}^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \mathrm{a} \times \mathrm{b}=\mathrm{ab}} 

Hence (A) is the correct answer.
