𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑎2 be 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑎√1 + 𝑚2
Hence, locus is (𝑏 𝑥 + 𝑎 𝑦 2 )2 = 𝑐 2 (𝑏4 𝑥 2 +

Since 𝑃(ℎ, 𝑘) lies on 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑎√1 + 𝑚2

8 (c) ∴ 𝑘 = 𝑚ℎ + 𝑎√1 + 𝑚2
Given curve is 𝑦 2 = 4𝑥 …(i) ⇒ (𝑘 = 𝑚ℎ)2 = 𝑎(1 + 𝑚2 )
⇒ 𝑚2 (ℎ2 − 𝑎2 ) − 2 𝑚𝑘ℎ + 𝑘 2 − 𝑎2 = 0
Let the equation of line be 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐 This is a quadric in 𝑚. Let the two roots be 𝑚1 and
𝑑𝑦
𝑚2 . Then,
Since, = 𝑚 = 1 and above line is passing 2 ℎ𝑘
𝑑𝑥
𝑚1 + 𝑚2 = 2
through the point (0, 1) ℎ − 𝑎2
But, tan 𝛼 = 𝑚1 , tan 𝛽 = 𝑚2 and it is given that

On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get ⇒ ℎ𝑘 = 0
Hence, the locus of (ℎ, 𝑘) is 𝑥𝑦 = 0
𝑥 = 1 and 𝑦 = 2 11 (b)
We have,
This shows that line touch the curve at one point.
𝑥 = 2 + 𝑡2, 𝑦 = 2 𝑡 + 1
So, length of intercept is zero.
⇒ 𝑥 − 2 = 𝑡 2 and 𝑦 − 1 = 2𝑡
9 (c) ⇒ (𝑦 − 1)2 = 4𝑡 2 and 𝑥 − 2 = 𝑡 2
We have, 𝐴𝐵 = 2 ⇒ (𝑦 − 1)2 = 4(𝑥 − 2),
Since Δ 𝐴𝐵𝐶 is equilateral. Therefore, Which is a parabola with vertex at (2,1)

𝑥2 𝑦2
+ = 1(𝑎 < 𝑏)
𝑎2 𝑏 2
It is a vertical ellipse with foci (0, ±𝑏𝑒)
Equation of any tangent line to the above ellipse is
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + √𝑎2 𝑚2 + 𝑏 2
∴ Required product

√𝑚2 + 1 √𝑚2 + 1
𝑎2 𝑚2 + 𝑏 2 − 𝑏 2 𝑒 2
Thus, the coordinates of 𝐶 are (0, √3) =| |
Let the circumcircle of Δ 𝐴𝐵𝐶 be 𝑚2 + 1
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 2𝑔𝑥 + 2𝑓𝑦 + 𝑐 = 0 𝑎2 𝑚2 + 𝑏 2 (1 − 𝑒 2 )

It passes through (1,0), (−1,0) and (0, √3) 𝑚2 + 1
𝑎 2 𝑚2 +𝑎2
∴ 1 + 2𝑔 + 𝑐 = 0,1 − 2𝑔 + 𝑐 = 0 and 3 + 2√3 𝑓 + =| 𝑚2 +1

𝑐=0 =𝑎 2

Solving these three equations, we get 13 (b)

𝑔 = 0, 𝑐 = −1 and 𝑓 = − 3 Since, ∠ 𝐴𝐷𝐵 = ∠𝐴𝐷𝐶 = 90°, circle on 𝐴𝐵 and 𝐴𝐶

Thus, the equation of the circumcircle is as dismeters pass through 𝐷 and therefore the
altitude 𝐴𝐷 is the common chord. Similarly, the

(𝑥 − 2)2 (𝑦 + 3)2 𝑋2 𝑌2 parabola at (𝑎𝑡22 , 2 𝑎𝑡2 ), if 𝑡2 = −𝑡1 − 𝑡
+ =1⇒ + =1 1
25 16 25 16 Here, the normal is drawn at (𝑥1 , 𝑥1 )
Where 𝑋 = 𝑥 − 2, 𝑌 = 𝑦 + 3 2
∴ 𝑎𝑡12 = 2 𝑎𝑡1 ⇒ 𝑡1 = 2 ⇒ 𝑡2 = −2 − = −3

Here, 𝑎 > 𝑏 The coordinates of the end points of the normal
chord are 𝑃(4𝑎, 4𝑎) and 𝑄(9𝑎, −6𝑎)
𝑏2 16 3 Clearly, 𝑃𝑄 makes a right angle at the focus (𝑎, 0)
∴ 𝑒 = √1 − 2

⇒ 𝑥 = 5, = −1, 𝑦 = −3 5
𝜆 + 10
∴ Foci are (−1, −3)and (−1, −3) ∴ −𝜆 + 3 + =5⇒𝜆=6
2
Putting 𝜆 = 6 in (i), we get
Distance between (2,-3) and (-1,-3) 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 6𝑥 − 16𝑦 + 28 = 0
As the equation of the required circle

18 (d)
and distance between (2, −3) and (5, −3) Given that equation of parabola is 𝑦 2 = 9𝑥

On comparing with 𝑦 2 = 4𝑎𝑥, we get 𝑎 = 4
= √(2 − 5)2 + (−3 + 3)2 = 3 Now, equation of tangent to the parabola 𝑦 2 = 9𝑥
Hence, sum of the distance of point (2, −3)from is

Hence, the locus of the (ℎ, 𝑘) is 𝑥 2 + 𝑦2 = (𝑎 − ⇒ 49𝑚2 + 1 + 14𝑚 = 25(1 + 𝑚2 )

Given equation is 𝑥 − 2𝑦 − 2 = 0, it can be 4 3
⇒ 𝑚1 = − and 𝑚2 =
𝑥 2 𝑦 2 3 4
rewritten as 2 − 1 = 1 4 3
∴ 𝑚1 𝑚2 = − . = −1
Here, 𝑎2 = 2, 𝑏 2 = 1 3 4

Equation of hyperbola is of the form 𝑋𝑌 = 2
(rectangular hyperbola). In rectangular hyperbola
𝑏2 2𝑏2
∴ 𝑒1 = √1 + 2 = √1 + 1 = √2 𝑎 = 𝑏, so length of latusrectum = 𝑎 = 2𝑎

2 The circle 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 4 cuts the circle 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 −
2𝑥 − 4 = 0 at 𝐴(0,2) and 𝐵(0, −2).
The circle 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 4𝑥 − 𝑘 = 0 passes through 𝐴

3 2𝑎 Clearly, it is maximum when sin 2 𝜃 is maximum
Given, 2𝑎𝑒 = 8 and = 18𝑒 i.e. sin 2 𝜃 = 1. In that case, 𝜃 = 𝜋/4
𝐴𝐵
⇒ 𝑎 = √4 × 9 = 6 ∴ 𝐵𝐶 = 𝐴𝐶 =
√2
2 Hence, the triangle is isosceles
∴ 𝑒= 109 (c)

5 Since, the centre of circle is (1, 2) and this circle
4 passes through (4, 6)
Therefore, 𝑏 = 6 √(1 − 9) = 2√5
∴ Radius of circle=Distance between (1, 2) and (4,
𝑥2 𝑦2 6)
Hence, the required equation is 36 + 20 = 1

⇒ 5𝑥 2 + 9𝑦 2 = 180 = √9 + 16 = √25 = 5
Hence area of circle= 𝜋𝑟 2

4𝑥 + 3𝑦 + 19 = 0
Let ∆ be the area of ∆ 𝐴𝐵𝐶. Then, 4(3) + 3(−2) + 19
