Let y = a + bx be curve, (2x – y) + λ (2x + y – 4) = 0

be family of lines.

(i) If curve has slope – at (9, 0) then a tangent belonging to family of lines is –

A
x + 2y – 5 = 0 (2 2/3 – 1) 3/2 16
B
x – 2y + 3 = 0 (2 2/3 + 1) 3/2 32
C
3x –y – 1 = 0 7 3/2 64
D
3x + y – 5 = 0 (ii) A line of the family cutting positive intercepts on axes and forming triangle with coordinate axes, then minimum length of the line segment between axes is – 27 (iii) Two perpendicular chords of curve y 2 – 4x – 4y + 4 = 0 belonging to family of lines form diagonals of a quadrilateral. Minimum area of quadrilateral is – 50

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
0

Ans.

(i)

Sol. 0 = 3a + 9b, – = + b

a = – 3b, – = – + b– =

b = – 1

⇒ a = 3 ; y = 3 – x

Point (1, 2) lies on curve.

= – 1

at (1, 2) is y – 2 = (x – 1) ⇒ x – 2y + 3 = 0

(ii)

Sol. sin θ =

PA = 2 cosec θ

cos θ =

BP = sec θ

AB = AP + BP = 2 cosec θ + cos θ

Min. value of AB = (2 2/3 +1) 3/2

(iii)

Sol. Let y – 2 = m (x – 1) be a chord.

y = mx + 2 – m

(mx + 2 – m)

2 – 4x – 4 (mx + 2 – m) + 4 = 0

i.e. (mx – m) 2 – 4x = 0

m 2 x 2 – (2m 2 + 4) x + m 2 = 0

x 1 + x 2 = ; x 1 x 2 = 1

|x 2 – x 1 | =

=

|x 2 – x 1 | =

Length of diagonal =

= (m 2 + 1)

Length of diagonal of perpendicular chord

= 4 m 2 = 4 (1 + m 2 )

Area = (1 + m 2 ) 4 (1 + m 2 ) = 8 (m 2 + 2 + )

⇒ Minimum area =16 + 8 × 2 = 32.
