Paragraph: Let a,r,s,ta, r, s, t be nonzero real numbers. Let P(at2,2at),Q,R(ar2,2ar)P\left(a t^{2}, 2 a t\right), Q, R\left(a r^{2}, 2 a r\right) and S(as2,2as)S\left(a s^{2}, 2 a s\right) be distinct points on the parabola y2=4axy^{2}=4 a x. Suppose that PQP Q is the focal chord and lines QRQ R and PKP K are parallel, where KK is the point (2a,0)(2 a, 0).
Question: If st=1s t=1, then the tangent at PP and the normal at SS to the parabola meet at a point whose ordinate is

Options

  1. A\dfrac{{\left({t}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2}}{2{t}^{3}}
  2. B\dfrac{a{\left({t}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2}}{2{t}^{3}}
  3. C\dfrac{a{\left({t}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2}}{{t}^{3}}
  4. D\dfrac{a{\left({t}^{2} + 2\right)}^{2}}{{t}^{3}}

Correct answer

B. \dfrac{a{\left({t}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2}}{2{t}^{3}}

Step-by-step solution

Tangent at P: ty =x+at2ory=xt+at<br/>NormalatS:= x + a{t}^{2}ory = \dfrac{x}{t} + at<br />Normal at S:y + \dfrac{x}{t} = \dfrac{2a}{t} + \dfrac{a}{{t}^{3}}<br/>Solving,<br />Solving,2y = at + \dfrac{2a}{t} + \dfrac{a}{{t}^{3}}<br/><br />y = \dfrac{a{\left({t}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2}}{2{t}^{3}}
