JEE Advanced2007MathematicsParabolaActual
Paragraph: Consider the circle x^2+y^2=9 and the parabola y^2=8 x . They intersect at P and Q in the first and the fourth quadrants, respectively. Tangents to the circle at P and Q intersect the X -axis at R and tangents to the parabola at P and Q intersect the X -axis at S . Question: The ratio of the areas of the P Q S and P Q R is
Options
- A1: 2
- B1: 2
- C1: 4
- D1: 8
Correct answer
C. 1: 4
Step-by-step solution
Coordinates of P and Q are (1,2 2 ) and (1,-2 2 ) . Area of P Q R= 1 2 4 2 8=16 2 Area of P Q S= 1 2 4 2 2=4 2 Ratio of area of P Q S and P Q R is 1: 4 .
