Q202 / 270 · NDA 2018 (Phase 2) · Mathematics

The second degree equation $x^2+4 y-2 x-4 y+2=0$ represents

  • Correct answer
    A
    A point
  • B
    An ellipse of semi-major axis 1
  • C
    An ellipse with eccentricity $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • D
    None of the above

Solution

$\begin{array}{ll} \because & \left(x^2-2 x+1\right)+\left(4 y^2-4 y+1\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x-1)^2+(2 y-1)^2=0 \\ \Rightarrow & x=1, y=\frac{1}{2} \end{array}$ It is a point.

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