Let 
be the parabola and 
be its focus. Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola
such that 
. Let C be the circle described taking PQ as a diameter. If the equation of a circle 
is 
, then 
is equal to .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
1328
(1328) 
Let 
and 
(ends of focal chord)
So, 
S(3, 0)
(dist. from directrix)
considering 
and 
Hence, diametric circle:
