If the tangents drawn at the points PP and QQ on the parabola y2=2x−3{y}^{2} = 2x - 3 intersect at the point R(0,1)R\left(0, 1\right), then the orthocentre of the triangle PQRPQR isIf the tangents drawn at the points P and Q on the parabola y ^ 2 = 2x - 3 intersect at the point R(0, 1) , then the

Options

  1. A(0,1)\left(0, 1\right)
  2. B(2,−1)\left(2, - 1\right)
  3. C(6,3)\left(6, 3\right)
  4. D(2,1)\left(2, 1\right)

Correct answer

B. (2,−1)\left(2, - 1\right)

Step-by-step solution

On plotting the diagram of given value we get,

If the tangents drawn at the points P and Q on the parabola y ^ 2 = 2x - 3 intersect at the point R(0, 1) , then the

Now given parabola is y2=2x−3⇒y2=2(x−32){y}^{2} = 2x - 3 ⇒ {y}^{2} = 2\left(x - \dfrac{3}{2}\right)

Let a point on parabola be P=((32+t22),t)P = \left(\left(\dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{{t}^{2}}{2}\right), t\right)

Equation of tangent at PP will be yt=x+32+t22−3yt = x + \dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{{t}^{2}}{2} - 3

∵R(0,1)∵ R\left(0, 1\right) lies on this tangent

Then t=t22−32t = \dfrac{{t}^{2}}{2} - \dfrac{3}{2}

i.e. t=3t = 3 or −1- 1.

So P≡(6,3) and Q≡(2,−1)P ≡ \left(6, 3\right) \text{ and } Q ≡ \left(2, - 1\right)

Now triangle PQRPQR is right angled at QQ, so \left(2, - 1\right) is the orthocentre of the triangle.
