Let PP\left(x_1, y_1\right)andQ(x2,y2),y1<0,y2<0and Q\left(x_2, y_2\right), y_1 < 0, y_2 < 0, be the end points of the latusrectum of the ellipse x2+4y2=4x^2+4 y^2=4. The equations of parabolas with latusrectum PQP Q areLet P (x_1, y_1) and Q(x_2, y_2), y_1 < 0, y_2 < 0 , be the end points of the latusrectum of the ellipse x^2+4 y^2=4 .Let P (x_1, y_1) and Q(x_2, y_2), y_1 < 0, y_2 < 0 , be the end points of the latusrectum of the ellipse x^2+4 y^2=4 .

Options

  1. Ax2+23y=3+3x^2+2 \sqrt{3} y=3+\sqrt{3}
  2. Bx2−23y=3+3x^2-2 \sqrt{3} y=3+\sqrt{3}
  3. Cx2+23y=3−3x^2+2 \sqrt{3} y=3-\sqrt{3}
  4. Dx2−23y=3−3x^2-2 \sqrt{3} y=3-\sqrt{3}

Correct answer

B. x2−23y=3+3x^2-2 \sqrt{3} y=3+\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

The equation x2+4y2=4x^2+4 y^2=4 represents an ellipse with 2 and 1 as semi-major and semi-minor axes and eccentricity 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}. Thus, the ends of latusrect are \left(\sqrt{3}, \frac{1}{2}\right)and(3,−12),(−3,−12)and(3,−12).<imgsrc="/api/proxy−image?url=httpsAccordingtothequestion,weconsideronlyand \left(\sqrt{3},-\frac{1}{2}\right), \left(-\sqrt{3},-\frac{1}{2}\right) and \left(\sqrt{3},-\frac{1}{2}\right). <img src="/api/proxy-image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffirebasestorage.googleapis.com%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fquantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app%2Fo%2Fquestions%252Ffigs%252Fpyq%252Fjee_advanced%252FxEg5w8HkzhfUb5VNonqRlTHouyfpQlt8WmCSapQNpQ8.original.fullsize.png%3Falt%3Dmedia&clean=1&v=wm2" data-qx-orig-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fjee_advanced%2FxEg5w8HkzhfUb5VNonqRlTHouyfpQlt8WmCSapQNpQ8.original.fullsize.png?alt=media" data-qx-storage-src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/quantrexacademy-app.firebasestorage.app/o/questions%2Ffigs%2Fpyq%2Fjee_advanced%2FxEg5w8HkzhfUb5VNonqRlTHouyfpQlt8WmCSapQNpQ8.original.fullsize.png?alt=media"><br> According to the question, we consider onlyP \left(-\sqrt{3},-\frac{1}{2}\right)andandQ \left(\sqrt{3},-\frac{1}{2}\right). Now, PQ=2\quad P Q=2\sqrt{3} Thus, the coordinates of the vertex of the parabolas are A(0,−1+32)A \left(0, \frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) and A^{\prime} \left(0, \frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) and corresponding equations are and (x-0)^2=-4 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(y+\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) i.e.,(x-0)^2=4 ⋅32\lleft(y−−1−32)\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \lleft(y-\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{2})and x2+2\ssqrt3y=3−3x2−2\ssqrt3y=3+3\begin{aligned}& x²+2 \ssqrt{3}y=3-\sqrt{3}\\ & x^2-2 \ssqrt{3}y=3+\sqrt{3} \end{aligned}
