Let PQPQ be a focal chord of the parabola y2=36x{y}^{2} = 36x of length 100,100, making an acute angle with the positive x−x -axis. Let the ordinate of PP be positive and MM be the point on the line segment PQPQ such that PM:MQ=3:1.PM: MQ = 3: 1 . Then which of the following points does NOTNOT lie on the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line PQPQ?

Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola y ^ 2 = 36x of length 100, making an acute angle with the positive x - axis.Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola y ^ 2 = 36x of length 100, making an acute angle with the positive x - axis.

Options

  1. A(−6,45)\left(- 6, 45\right)
  2. B(6,29)\left(6, 29\right)
  3. C(3,33)\left(3, 33\right)
  4. D(−3,43)\left(- 3, 43\right)

Correct answer

D. (−3,43)\left(- 3, 43\right)

Step-by-step solution

We have been given the length of focal chord PQ=100PQ = 100.

Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola y ^ 2 = 36x of length 100, making an acute angle with the positive x - axis.

Length of focal chord at (t)=a(t+1t)2=100\left(t\right) = a{\left(t + \dfrac{1}{t}\right)}^{2} = 100

Where a=9a = 9

t+1t=±103t + \dfrac{1}{t} = \pm \dfrac{10}{3}

∴t=3,13,−3,−13∴ t = 3, \dfrac{1}{3}, - 3, \dfrac{- 1}{3}

Since ordinate of PP is +ve+ ve

Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola y ^ 2 = 36x of length 100, making an acute angle with the positive x - axis.

∴ t = 3 or 13\dfrac{1}{3}

(t=3t = 3 as slope of PQPQ is positive)

∴M(21,9)∴ M ( 21, 9 )

Required line:y−9=−8060(x−21): y - 9 = \dfrac{- 80}{60} ( x - 21 )

⇒4x+3y=111⇒ 4x + 3y = 111

(−3,43)\left(- 3, 43\right) does not lie on line.

Hence this is the correct option.
