intersect at a point P , whose abscissa is not zero, such that
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Solving 
and 
we get 
and 
. Therefore the co-ordinates of P are (4,4). The equations of the tangents to the two parabolas at (4,4) are 
.....(i)
.....(ii)
Now, 
Slope of (i) 
Slope of (ii) 
∴ ∴ 
.
