Let RS be the diameter of the circle x2+y2=1{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1 where, SS is the point(1,0)( 1, 0 ). Let PPbe a variable point (other than R and SR \text{ and } S) on the circle and tangents to the circle at S and PS \text{ and } Pmeet at the pointQQ. The normal to the circle at P intersects a line drawn throughQQ parallel to RSRS at point EE . Then, the locus of EE passes through the point (s):Let RS be the diameter of the circle x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 1 where, S is the point ( 1, 0 ) . Let P be a variable point

Options

  1. A(13,13)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)
  2. B(14,12)\left(\dfrac{1}{4}, \dfrac{1}{2}\right)
  3. C(13,−13)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}, - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)
  4. D(14,−12)\left(\dfrac{1}{4}, - \dfrac{1}{2}\right)

Correct answer

A. (13,13)\left(\dfrac{1}{3}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)

Step-by-step solution

Let RS be the diameter of the circle x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 1 where, S is the point ( 1, 0 ) . Let P be a variable point
Let P be ( cos \theta, sin \theta ),where<br>, where<br >\theta \ne 0, \pi<br>Tangentat<br >Tangent atP: xcos \theta + ysin \theta = 1........(i)<br>Tangentat........(i)<br >Tangent atS: x = 1.........(ii)<br>.........(ii)<br >∴By(i)and(ii):By (i) and (ii) :Q\left(1, \dfrac{1 - cos \theta}{sin \theta}\right)<br>LinethroughQparalleltoRS:<br><br >Line through Q parallel to RS :<br >y = \dfrac{1 - cos \theta}{sin \theta} ⇒ y = tan \dfrac{\theta}{2}..........(iii)<br>Normalat..........(iii)<br >Normal atP: y = \dfrac{sin \theta}{cos \theta}x ⇒ y = tan \theta . x ⇒ y = (2tanθ21−tan2θ2)x\left(\dfrac{2tan\dfrac{\theta}{2}}{1 - t{an}^{2}\dfrac{\theta}{2}}\right)x ........(iv)
Point of intersection of equation (iii) and (iv), E:h=1−tan⁡2θ22;k=tanθ2E: h = \dfrac{1 - \tan^{2} \dfrac{\theta}{2}}{2}; k = tan \dfrac{\theta}{2}
Eliminating θ:h=1−k22⇒y2=1−2x\theta: h = \dfrac{1 - {k}^{2}}{2} ⇒ {y}^{2} = 1 - 2x
( \dfrac{1}{3} , \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ) & ( \dfrac{1}{3} , - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} )  satisfy the locus.
