The length of the chord y=3x−23y = \sqrt{3}x - 2\sqrt{3} intercepted by the parabola y2=4(x−1)isequaltoy^{2} = 4 \left(x - 1\right) is equal to

Options

  1. A434\sqrt{3} units
  2. B83\dfrac{8}{3} units
  3. C163\dfrac{16}{3} units
  4. D43\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{3}} units

Correct answer

C. 163\dfrac{16}{3} units

Step-by-step solution

Focus of y2=4(x−1)is(2,0)whichsatisfiesy^{2} = 4 \left(x - 1\right) is \left(2,0\right) which satisfies the equationy = \sqrt{3}x−x -2\sqrt{3}.
Hence, line y=3y = \sqrt{3} x - 232\sqrt{3} is a focal chord.
Now, the length of the focal chord equals to 4acosec2θ4acosec^{2}\theta where a = 1 and tanθ=3\lleft(orθ=60o)tan \theta = \sqrt{3} \lleft(or\theta =6{0}^{o})
⇒⇒ length of chord =4×(cosec260o)<br/>= 4 \times \left(cosec^{2}{60}^{o}\right)<br />= 4 \times 43=163units\dfrac{4}{3} = \dfrac{16}{3} units
