Q109 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (04 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

Two particles P and Q located at the points Pt,t3-16t-3,Qt+1,t3-6t-6 are moving in a plane, the minimum distance between the points in their motion is

  • Correct answer
    A
    1
  • B
    5
  • C
    169
  • D
    49

Solution

Pt,t3-16t-3,Qt+1,t3-6t-6

⇒  PQ=(t+1-t)2+t3-6t-6-t3+16t+32

= 1+(10t-3)2

Let, y=PQ2=1+10t-32

Minimum value of y will be at dydt=0

i.e. 210t-3=0

or t=310

∴ minimum distance = 1+10×310-32=1

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