Q35 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2019 (Paper 2) · Mathematics
Let the circles and intersect at the points and Suppose that another circle satisfies the following conditions:
centre of is collinear with the centres of and
and both lie inside and
touches at and at
Let the line through and intersect at and and let a common tangent of and be a tangent to the parabola
There are some expression given in the List- whose values are given in List- below:
List- I List- II
Which of the following is the only INCORRECT combination?
centre of is collinear with the centres of and
and both lie inside and
touches at and at
Let the line through and intersect at and and let a common tangent of and be a tangent to the parabola
There are some expression given in the List- whose values are given in List- below:
| List- I | List- II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Which of the following is the only INCORRECT combination?
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution

Given centre of and are collinear hence
…(i)
is diameter of
…(ii)
Given touches at
So
…(iii)
From (i) and (iii)
and
So centre of will be
Now equation of common chord of and will be
Equation of line is …(iv)
Distance of line from origin
now in
Length of
Line is line
Equation of
Distance of from
now

Common tangent to and is common chord to and
Now this line is tangent to parabola
Apply (for tangent, it will have repeated roots)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
