Maths Conic Sections Parabola Matrix Match Questions
Published on: August 14, 2026

Match the column:

Column-I

Column-II

(i) Normals are drawn to the         parabola

y2 = 4x at P (t2, 2t); where t < 0, which

meets the curve again at Q. If ordinate of

Q is minimum then PQ2 is

[A] 3

(ii) From point on circle x2 + y2 = 36,

tangents are drawn to hyperbola x2 – y2 

= 36, locus of mid points of chords of

contact is(x2 – y2)2 = 12λ (x2 + y2) then λ 

=

[B]0

(iii) Maximum length of chord of ellipse

 + y2 = 1, such that eccentric angles

of its extremities differ by π/2 is

[C]108

(iv) Three distinct lines are drawn in a

plane & there are exactly n circles in

plane tangent to all three lines, then n

can be

[D]2

[E]4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
(i) [C]; (ii) [A]; (iii) [D]; (iv) [B]

Ans.

(i) [C]

(ii) [A]

(iii) [D]

(iv) [B],[D],[E]

Sol.

(i)  Point P is (t 2 , 2t)

& Q is

∴ – t

for minimum, t =

∴ Points are P (2, –2 ) & Q (8, )

∴ PQ 2 = 108

(ii)  Equation of chord of contact is

T = 0

x cos θ – y sin θ = 6 ……. (i)

Let M (h, k) is mid point of AB

∴ Equation of AB is T = S 1

⇒ hx – ky = h 2 –k 2 …….(ii)

∴ comparing (i) & (ii)

cos θ =

sin θ =

square & add, locus is

(x 2 – y 2 ) 2 = 36 (x 2 + y 2 )

∴ λ = 3

(iii) Let P ( cos θ , sin θ ) & Q (– sin θ , cos θ )

are extremities of chord

∴ Length PQ = ≤ 2

∴ ( PQ) max. = 2

(iv) case - (i) : If lines form a triangle then n = 4

i.e. 3 excircle & 1 incircle

(ii) Two lines are parallel & third intersect them then n = 2

(iii) All lines are parallel or lines are concurrent there n = 0
