The correct option is:
(P) → (4) (Q) → (2) (R) �� (5) (S) → (3)

Step-by-step Derivation:

Step 1: Relate the center of the circle, the radius, and the tangent line.
The given circle has its center at (0,α) with α>0, and its radius is r.
The straight line y=2x (which can be rewritten as 2x-y=0) touches the circle at point A1.
Since the line is tangent to the circle, the perpendicular distance from the center of the circle to this line must be equal to the radius r.

Using the formula for the perpendicular distance from a point (x0,y0) to a line ax+by+c=0:
r=|2(0)-α|22+(-1)2
Since α>0, we have:
r=α5α=r5

Step 2: Solve for r and α.
We are given that:
α+r=5+5
Substituting α=r5 into this equation:
r5+r=5+5
r(5+1)=5(5+1)
Dividing both sides by (5+1):
r=5
This gives the value of α as:
α=r5=5·5=5
Thus, we have:
(P) → (4) (since α=5)
(Q) → (2) (since r=5)

Step 3: Find the point of contact A1.
The center of the circle is C(0,5).
The line joining the center C and the point of contact A1 is normal to the tangent line y=2x.
Since the slope of the tangent line is 2, the slope of the normal line is -12.
The equation of the normal passing through C(0,5) is:
y-5=-12(x-0)x+2y-10=0

The point of contact A1 is the intersection of the tangent line y=2x and the normal line x+2y-10=0.
Substituting y=2x into the normal equation:
x+2(2x)-10=05x=10x=2
Then, y=2(2)=4.
Therefore, the coordinates of A1 are (2,4).
Thus, (R) → (5).

Step 4: Find the point B1.
Since A1B1 is a diameter of the circle, the center C(0,5) is the midpoint of the segment A1B1.
Let the coordinates of B1 be (x1,y1).
Using the midpoint formula:
x1+22=0x1=-2
y1+42=5y1+4=10y1=6
Therefore, the coordinates of B1 are (-2,6).
Thus, (S) → (3).
