  4. D(P) →\rightarrow (4), (Q) →\rightarrow (1), (R) →\rightarrow (2), (S) →\rightarrow (3)

Correct answer

B. (P) →\rightarrow (3), (Q) →\rightarrow (2), (R) →\rightarrow (1), (S) →\rightarrow (5)

Step-by-step solution

For (P):
The radius of the circle is the perpendicular distance from (1,2)(1, 2) to 3x+4y−1=03x + 4y - 1 = 0.
r=∣3(1)+4(2)−1∣32+42=105=2r = \dfrac{|3(1) + 4(2) - 1|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = \dfrac{10}{5} = 2
The equation of the circle is (x−1)2+(y−2)2=4(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4.
Checking the given points, (3,2)(3, 2) satisfies the equation.
Thus, (P) →\rightarrow (3).

For (Q):
The equation of a tangent to y2=8xy^2 = 8x with slope mm is y=mx+2my = mx + \dfrac{2}{m}.
Since it is also a tangent to x2+y2=2x^2 + y^2 = 2, the perpendicular distance from (0,0)(0, 0) to the line mx−y+2m=0mx - y + \dfrac{2}{m} = 0 is equal to the radius 2\sqrt{2}.
∣2m∣m2+1=2\dfrac{\left|\dfrac{2}{m}\right|}{\sqrt{m^2 + 1}} = \sqrt{2}
4m2=2(m2+1)\dfrac{4}{m^2} = 2(m^2 + 1)
m4+m2−2=0m^4 + m^2 - 2 = 0
(m2+2)(m2−1)=0(m^2 + 2)(m^2 - 1) = 0
Since mm is real and positive, m=1m = 1.
The equation of the common tangent is y=x+2y = x + 2.
Checking the given points, (7,9)(7, 9) satisfies the equation.
Thus, (Q) →\rightarrow (2).

For (R):
The equation of the ellipse is x216+y212=1\dfrac{x^2}{16} + \dfrac{y^2}{12} = 1.
Here a2=16anda^2 = 16 andb^2 = 12.<br>Eccentricity.<br>Eccentricitye = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{12}{16}} = \dfrac{1}{2}.<br>Theendpointofthelatusrectuminthefirstquadrantis(ae,b2a)=(4×12,124)=(2,3).<br>The end point of the latus rectum in the first quadrant is \left(ae, \dfrac{b^2}{a}\right) = \left(4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{12}{4}\right) = (2, 3).
The equation of the normal at (2,3)(2, 3) is 16x2−12y3=16−12\dfrac{16x}{2} - \dfrac{12y}{3} = 16 - 12.
8x−4y=4⇒2x−y=18x - 4y = 4 \Rightarrow 2x - y = 1.
Checking the given points, (1,1)(1, 1) satisfies the equation.
Thus, (R) →\rightarrow (1).

For (S):
The centre is (0,0)(0, 0). The focus is (ae,0)=(5,0)⇒ae=5(ae, 0) = (5, 0) \Rightarrow ae = 5.
The directrix is x=−165⇒ae=165x = -\dfrac{16}{5} \Rightarrow \dfrac{a}{e} = \dfrac{16}{5}.
Multiplying the two equations gives a2=16a^2 = 16.
Dividing the two equations gives e2=2516e^2 = \dfrac{25}{16}.
b2=a2(e2−1)=16(2516−1)=9b^2 = a^2(e^2 - 1) = 16\left(\dfrac{25}{16} - 1\right) = 9.
The equation of the hyperbola is x216−y29=1\dfrac{x^2}{16} - \dfrac{y^2}{9} = 1.
Checking the given points, (8,33)(8, 3\sqrt{3}) satisfies the equation.
Thus, (S) →\rightarrow (5).

Answer: (P) →\rightarrow (3), (Q) →\rightarrow (2), (R) →\rightarrow (1), (S) →\rightarrow (5)
