Let two non-collinear vectors `veca` and `vecb` inclined at an angle `(2pi)/(3)` be such that `|veca|=3` and `vec|b|=2`. If a point P moves so that at any time t its position vector `vec(OP)` (where O is the origin) is given as `vec(OP) = (t+1/t)veca+(t-1/t)vecb` then least distance of P from the origin is

A

`sqrt(2sqrt(133)-10)`

B

`sqrt(2(133)+10)`

C

`sqrt(5+sqrt(133))`
