Correct answer

B. 325325

Step-by-step solution

Given,

RR be the focus of the parabola y2=20x{y}^{2} = 20x and the line y=mx+cy = mx + c intersect the parabola at two points PandQP and Q,

And the points G(10,10)bethecentroidofthetriangleG\left(10, 10\right) be the centroid of the trianglePQR,</p><p>Nowfocusoftheparabola,</p><p>Now focus of the parabola{y}^{2} = 20xwillbe,will be,R\left(5, 0\right)</p><p>Andparametricpointsof</p><p>And parametric points ofPQbe(5t2,10t)be \left(5{t}^{2}, 10t\right),

Now plotting the diagram we get,

Let R be the focus of the parabola y ^ 2 = 20x and the line y = mx + c intersect the parabola at two points P and Q .

Now finding the centroid of the triangle we get,

For x−x - coordinate we get,

⇒5t12+5t22+53=10⇒ \dfrac{5{{t}_{1}}^{2} + 5{{t}_{2}}^{2} + 5}{3} = 10

⇒t12+t22=5...(i)⇒ {{t}_{1}}^{2} + {{t}_{2}}^{2} = 5 . . . ( i )

Now for y−y -coordinate we get,

10(t1+t2)3=10\dfrac{10\left({t}_{1} + {t}_{2}\right)}{3} = 10

⇒t1+t2=3...(ii)⇒ {t}_{1} + {t}_{2} = 3 . . . ( ii )

Now solving both equations we get, t1=1,t2=2{t}_{1} = 1, {t}_{2} = 2

So, points will be, P≡(5,10) and  Q≡(20,20)P ≡ ( 5, 10 ) \text{\text{ and } } Q ≡ \left(20, 20\right)

Hence, equation of PQ=y−10=1015(x−5)</p><p>PQ = y - 10 = \dfrac{10}{15}\left(x - 5\right)</p><p>⇒ 3y - 30 = 2x - 10</p><p></p><p>⇒ y = 23\dfrac{2}{3}x + 203,sooncomparing\dfrac{20}{3}, so on comparing with y = mx + c,weget, we getc - m = 6</p><p>Hence,</p><p>Hence,P{Q}^{2} = 225 + 100 = 325</p></blockquote></p></blockquote>
