Q39 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics
Let be a parabola with focus .Let the tangents to the parabola make an angle of with the line touch the parabola at and . Then the value of for which and are collinear is:
- Aonly
- Bonly
- Conly
- Correct answerDany
Solution
Lines making angle with
So using formula , we have slope .
Which are perpendicular to each-other so, are collinear for all . (by property that perpendicular tangents will lie on directrix and chord of contact will pass through focus, so the points are collinear )
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
