Q86 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (04 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

A line passing through P2,3 and making an angle of 30° with the positive direction of x-axis meets x2-2xy-y2=0 at A and B. Then the value of PA.PB is

  • A
    173+1
  • Correct answer
    B
    173+1
  • C
    173-1
  • D
    173-1

Solution

Given,

Equation of the line through P2,3 is

So parametric equation of line is given by,

x-2cosθ=y-3sinθ=r  where θ=30°

Now if PA=r1, PB=r2 then r1,r2 are the roots of the equation

x2-2xy-y2=0
⇒2+rcosθ2-22+rcosθ3+rsinθ-3+rsinθ2=0

⇒r2cos2θ-sin2θ-2rcosθ+5sinθ-17=0

So PA·PB=r1r2=-17cos2θ-sin2θ=173+1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
