PASSAGE 2

The circle x2 + y2 – 8x = 0 and hyperbola  intersect atthe points A and B. (2010)

Q. Equation of a common tangent with positive slope to the circle as well as to the hyperbola is
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 4

Any tangent to  is 

It touches circle with center (4,0) and radius = 4

⇒ 16 sec2α – 24 secα + 9 =

⇒ 12 sec2α + 8 sec– 15= 0

but sec α  is not possible

∴ sec α = –3/2

∴  slope of tangent = .

(for +ve value of m)

∴ Equation of tangent is 

or 2 x – y + 4=0

PASSAGE 2

The circle x2 + y2 – 8x = 0 and hyperbola  intersect atthe points A and B. (2010)

Q. Equation of the circle with AB as its diameter is
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 5

The intersection points of given circle x2 + y2 – 8x= 0...(1) .
and hyperbola 4 x2 –9y2 –36 = 0 ...(2)
can be obtained by solving these equations
Substituting value of y2 from eqn (1) in eqn (2), we get 4 x2 – 9(8x –x2) = 36 ⇒ 13x2 – 72x – 36= 0

⇒(not possible)

 are points of intersection.
So eqn of required circle is

⇒ x2 + 36 – 12 x +y2 – 12= 0

⇒ x2+ y2 – 12x + 24=0

PASSAGE 3
Tangents are drawn from the point P(3, 4) to the ellipse  touching the ellipse at points A and B. (2010)

Q. The coordinates of A and B are
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 6

Tangent to

at  the point (3 cosθ, 2 sinθ) is

As it passes throught (3,4), we get cosθ + 2 sinθ=1
⇒ 4 sin2θ = 1 + cos2θ – 2 cosθ
⇒ 5cos2θ – 2cosθ – 3= 0

∴ Required points are A (3, 0) and B

Q. The orthocenter of the triangle PAB is
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 7

Let H be the  orthocentre of ΔPAB, then as BH ⊥ AP, BH is a horizontal line  through B.

∴ y- cordinate of B = 8/5

Let H has coordinater (α, 8 5)

Then slope of PH

and slope of AB 

But PH ⊥ AB ⇒ 

⇒ 4 = –5α + 15 or α = 11/5

Hence

Tangents are drawn from the point P(3, 4) to the ellipse  touching the ellipse at points A and B. (2010)

Q. The equation of the locus of the point whose distances from the point P and the line AB are equal, is
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 8

Clearly the moving point traces a parabola with focus at P(3, 4) and directrix as

or x + 3y – 3=0

∴ Equation of parabola is

(x– 3)2 + (y–4)2

or 9x2 + y2 – 6xy – 54x – 62y + 241= 0

 PASSAGE 4

Let PQ be a focal chord of the parabola y2 = 4ax. The tangents to the parabola at P and Q meet at a point lying on the line y = 2x + a, a > 0.

Q. If chord PQ subtends an angle θ at the vertex of y2 = 4ax, then tan q =            (JEE Adv. 2013)
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 10

As PQ is the focal chord of  y2 = 4ax

∴ Coordinates of P and Q can be taken as

P(at2 , 2at) and 

Tangents at P and Q are

which intersect each other  at

Let a, r, s, t be nonzero real numbers. Let P (at2, 2at), Q, R (ar2, 2ar) and S (as2, 2as) be distinct points on the parabola y2 = 4ax. Suppose that PQ is the focal chord and lines QR and PK are parallel, where K is the point (2a, 0) (JEE Adv. 2014)

Q. The value of r is
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 11

∵ PQ is a focal chord, 

Also QR || PK ⇒ mQR = mPK

Let a, r, s, t be nonzero real numbers. Let P (at2, 2at), Q, R (ar2, 2ar) and S (as2, 2as) be distinct points on the parabola y2 = 4ax. Suppose that PQ is the focal chord and lines QR and PK are parallel, where K is the point (2a, 0) (JEE Adv. 2014)

Q. If st = 1, then the tangent at P and the normal at S to the parabola meet at a point whose ordinate is
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 12

Tangent at P is  
ty = x+ at2 ....(i)
Normal at S sx + y = 2as + as3 ....(ii)

But given st = 1 ⇒ 

⇒ xt2 = yt3 = 2at2 + a

Putting value of x from equation (i) in above equation we get

⇒ t2 ( ty - at2) + yt3 = 2at2 + a

⇒ (t3 + t3) y - at4 = 2at2 + a

⇒ 2t3y = a (t4 + 2t2+1)

Q. The orthocentre of th e triangle F1MN is (JEE Adv. 2016)
Detailed Solution for Test: Comprehension Based Questions: Conic Sections - Question 13

For ellipse

∴ F1(– 1, 0) and F2 (1, 0) Parabola with vertex at (0, 0) and focus at F2(1, 0) is y2 = 4x.
Intersection points of ellipse and parabola are and 

For orthocentre of ΔF1MN, clearly one altitude is x-axis i.e. y = 0 and altitude from M to F1N is

Putting y = 0 in above equation, we get

For ellipse

∴ F1(– 1, 0) and F2 (1, 0) Parabola with vertex at (0, 0) and focus at F2(1, 0) is y2 = 4x.
Intersection points of ellipse and parabola are and 

Tangents to ellipse at M and N are
