can be obtained by solving (i) and (ii) as follows 4x2 + 8px – 4px – 3p2 = 0 ⇒ (2x + 3p) (2x – p) = 0

⇒ y2 = – 3p2 (not possible), p2 ⇒ y = + p

∴ Required pts are (p/2, p), (p/2, – p)

KEY CONCEPT
The equation ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 represents a parabola if Δ ≠ 0 and h2 = ab where Δ = abc + 2fgh – af 2 – bg2 – ch2
Now we have x = t2 + t + 1 and  y = t2 – t + 1

(Adding and subtracting values of x and y)
Eliminating t,   2 (x + y) = (x – y)2 + 4 ......... (1)
⇒ x2 – 2xy + y2 – 2x – 2y + 4  = 0 ......... (2)
Here, a = 1, h = – 1, b = 1, g = – 1, f = – 1, c = 4

y2 = kx – 8 ⇒ y2 =

Directrix of parabola is  x =

Now, x = 1 also coincides with  =

On comparision,  =1,  or k2 - 4k - 32 = 0
On solving  we get k = 4

Let the equation of tangent to y2 = 4x be y =

where m is the slope of the tangent.
If it is tangent to the circle (x – 3)2 + y2 = 9 then length of perpendicular to tangent from centre (3, 0) should be equal to the radius 3.

∴ Tangents are x –y + 3=0 and

x +y+ 3 = 0 out of which x –y + 3=0 meets the parabola at (3, 2) i.e., above x-axis.

JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 13

y2 + 4y + 4x + 2 = 0
y2 + 4y + 4 = – 4x + 2 (y + 2)2 = –4 (x – 1/2)
It is of the form Y2 = –  4AX
whose directrix is given by X = A
∴ Req. equation is x – 1/2 = 1 ⇒ x = 3/2.

JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 14

If (h, k) is the mid point of line joining focus (a, 0) and Q (at2, 2at) on parabola then k = at

Eliminating t, we get  2h = 

⇒ k2 = a (2h – a) ⇒  k2 = 2a (h – a/2)

∴ Locus of (h, k) is y2 = 2a (x – a/2)

whose directrix is (x – a/2) =

⇒ x = 0

JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 16

The equation of the common tangent to the curves y2 = 8x and xy = –1 is  (2002S)

Detailed Solution for JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 16

The given curves are y2 = 8x ...(1)
and xy = – 1 ...(2)
If m is the slope of tangent to (1), then eqn of tangent is y = mx + 2/m
If this tangent is also a tangent to (2), then putting value of y in curve (2)

= 0 ⇒ m2 x2 + 2x + m = 0

We should get repeated roots for the eqn (condition of tangency)
⇒ D = 0
∴ (2)2 – 4m2.m = 0 ⇒ m3 = 1 ⇒ m = 1
Hence required tangent is y = x + 2

JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 17

For Δ to be min, sin 2θ should be max. and we know max value of sin 2θ= 1

∴ Δ max = ab sq. units.

JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 24

Tangent to the curve y = x2 + 6 at a point (1, 7) touches the circle x2 + y2 + 16x + 12y + c = 0 at a point Q. Then the coordinates of Q are (2005S)

Detailed Solution for JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 24

The given curve is y = x2 + 6 Equation of tangent at (1, 7) is (y + 7) = x .1 + 6
⇒ 2x – y + 5 = 0 ...(1)
As given this tangent (1) touches the circle x2 + y2 +16x + 12y + c = 0 at Q
Centre of circle = (– 8, – 6).

Then equation of CQ which is perpendicular to (1) and passes through (– 8, – 6) is y + 6 = -(x + 8)

⇒ x + 2y + 20 = 0 ...(2)
Now Q is pt. of intersection of (1) and (2)
∴   Solving eqn (1) & (2) we get x = – 6, y = – 7
∴ Req. pt. is (– 6, – 7).

JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 25

The axis of a parabola is along the line y = x and the distances of its vertex and focus from origin are and respectively. If vertex and focus both lie in the first quadrant, then the equation of the parabola is (2006 - 3M, –1)

Detailed Solution for JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 25

Since, distance of vertex from origin is and focus is
∴ Vertex is (1, 1) and focus is (2, 2), directrix  x + y = 0

∴ Equation of parabola is

( x – 2)2 + (y – 2)2

⇒ 2(x2 - 4x+ 4)+ 2(y2 - 4y + 4) = x2 + y2+ 2xy
⇒ x2 + y2 – 2xy = 8 (x + y – 2)
⇒ (x – y)2 = 8 (x + y – 2)

A hyperbola, having the transverse axis of length 2 sinθ, is confocal with the ellipse 3x2 + 4y2 = 12. Then its equation is (2007 - 3 marks)

Detailed Solution for JEE Advanced (Single Correct MCQs): Conic Sections - Question 26

The length of transverse axis = 2 sinθ = 2a
⇒ a = sinθ
Also for ellipse 3x2 + 4y2 = 12

∴ Focus of ellipse = 

As hyperbola is confocal with ellipse, focus of hyperbola = (1, 0)  ⇒ ae = 1 ⇒ sinθ × e = 1 ⇒ e = cosecθ

∴ b2 = a2 (e2 – 1) = sin2θ (cosec2θ – 1) = cos2θ

∴ Equation of hyperbola is

or, x2cosec2θ – y2 sec2θ = 1

Also auxillary circle of given ellipse is x2 +y2= 9 (2)
Solving equation (1) and (2), we get the point M where line AB meets the auxillary circle.
Putting  x = 3 – 3y from eqn (1) in eqn (2) we get (3 - 3 y)2 +y= 9
