Q32 / 56 · KVPY 2018 (SA) · Mathematics

Let x0,y0 be fixed real numbers such that x02+y02>1. If x, y are arbitrary real numbers such that x2+y2≤1, then the minimum value of x-x02+y-y02 is
 

  • Correct answer
    A
    x02+y02-12
  • B
    x02+y02-1
  • C
    x0+y0-12
  • D
    x0+y02-1

Solution

LetPx0,y0

Given x2+y2≤11$

Let any arbitrary point 8 (x, y).

Figure

PQ2=x-x02+y-y02PQ2=(OP-OQ)2
PQ2=(OP-OQ)2PQ2=x02+x02-12  [∵0Q=1]

∴ Mininimum value of PQ2 is

x02+y02-12

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