Let $M$ and $N$ respectively be the feet of the perpendiculars from $A$ and $B$ on $L$. Then $\left(\frac{A M \cdot B N}{C D}\right)^2$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
Equation of $A B$
$y\left(t_1+t_2\right)=2 x+2 a t_1 t_2$

$\begin{aligned} & \text { For } D, y=2 a t_3 \\ & \Rightarrow x=a\left(t_1 t_3+t_2 t_3-t_1 t_2\right) \\ & C D=\left|a\left(t_1 t_3+t_2 t_3-t_1 t_3\right)-a t_3^2\right| \\ & A M=\left|2 a t_1-2 a t_3\right| \\ & B N=\left|2 a t_3-2 a t_2\right| \\ & \left(\frac{A M \cdot B N}{C D}\right)^2=\left(\frac{4 a^2\left(t_1-t_3\right)\left(t_3-t_2\right)}{a\left(t_1 t_3+t_2 t_3-t_1 t_3-t_3^2\right)}\right)^2 \\ & =\left(\frac{4 a^2\left(t_1-t_3\right)\left(t_3-t_2\right)}{a\left(t_1-t_3\right)\left(t_2-t_3\right)}\right)^2 \\ & =16 a^2=16 \cdot\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2=36 \end{aligned}$
Consider the circle $C: x^2+y^2=4$ and the parabola $P: y^2=8 x$. If the set of all values of $\alpha$, for which three chords of the circle $C$ on three distinct lines passing through the point $(\alpha, 0)$ are bisected by the parabola $P$ is the interval $(p, q)$, then $(2 q-p)^2$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:

Chord with the middle point $(\alpha, 0)$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow T=S_1 \\ & \Rightarrow y y_1-4\left(x+x_1\right)=y_1^2-8 x_1 \\ & \Rightarrow-4(x+\alpha)=0-8 \alpha \\ & \Rightarrow x+\alpha=2 \alpha \Rightarrow x=\alpha \end{aligned}$
For circle chord with $(2 t^2, 4 t)$ as mid point
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad T=S_1 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x x_1+y y_1-4=x_1^2+y_1^2-4 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 2 t^2 x+4 t y=4 t^4+16 t^2 \end{aligned}$
Passes through $(\alpha, 0)$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & 2 t^2 \alpha=4 t^4+16 t^2 \\ \Rightarrow & 2 \alpha=4 t^2+16 \Rightarrow \alpha=2 t^2+8=x_0+8 \\ & x^2+y^2=4 \text { and } y^2=8 x \\ \Rightarrow & x^2+8 x-4=0 \Rightarrow x_0=\frac{-8+\sqrt{80}}{2} \\ \Rightarrow & p=8 \text { and } q=4+\frac{\sqrt{80}}{2} \Rightarrow(2 q-p)^2=80 \end{aligned}$
Let a conic $C$ pass through the point $(4,-2)$ and $P(x, y), x \geq 3$, be any point on $C$. Let the slope of the line touching the conic $C$ only at a single point $P$ be half the slope of the line joining the points $P$ and $(3,-5)$. If the focal distance of the point $(7,1)$ on $C$ is $d$, then $12 d$ equals ________.
Explanation:
As per given condition
$\begin{gathered} \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y+5}{2(x-3)} \\ \Rightarrow \ln (y+5)=\frac{1}{2} \ln (x-3)+c \\ \text { Passes through }(4,-2) \Rightarrow \ln 3=\frac{1}{2} \ln 1+c \\ \Rightarrow c=\ln 3 \end{gathered}$
$\Rightarrow$ Curve is $(y+5)^2=9(x-3)$
Focal distance of $(7,1)=\frac{9}{4}+4=\frac{25}{4}=d$
$12 d=75$
Let $L_1, L_2$ be the lines passing through the point $P(0,1)$ and touching the parabola $9 x^2+12 x+18 y-14=0$. Let $Q$ and $R$ be the points on the lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ such that the $\triangle P Q R$ is an isosceles triangle with base $Q R$. If the slopes of the lines $Q R$ are $m_1$ and $m_2$, then $16\left(m_1^2+m_2^2\right)$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & 9 x^2+12 x+18 y-14=0 \\ & \left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2=-2(y-1) \ldots(1) \end{aligned}$
Equation of tangent to (1)
$\begin{aligned} & t\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)=-(y-1)+\frac{1}{2} t^2 \text { passes through }(0,1) \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} t=\frac{1}{2} t^2 \Rightarrow t=0, \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow m=0, m=-\frac{4}{3} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left|\frac{m+\frac{4}{3}}{1-\frac{4}{3} m}\right|=|m| \Rightarrow\left|\frac{3 m+4}{3-4 m}\right|=|m| \\ & \Rightarrow 3 m+4=m(3-4 m) \text { or } 3 m+4=-m(3-4 m) \\ & 3 m+4=3 m-4 m^2 \text { or } 3 m+4=-3 m+4 m^2 \\ & 4 m^2+4=0 \text { (not possible) or } 4 m^2-6 m-4=0 \\ & m_1+m_2=\frac{3}{2}, m_1 m_2=-1 \\ & \Rightarrow m_1^2+m_2^2=\frac{17}{4} \\ & 16\left(m_1^2+m_2^2\right)=68 \end{aligned}$
Let a line perpendicular to the line $2 x-y=10$ touch the parabola $y^2=4(x-9)$ at the point P. The distance of the point P from the centre of the circle $x^2+y^2-14 x-8 y+56=0$ is __________.
Explanation:
Line perpendicular to $2 x-y=10$ have slope $=\frac{-1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ Line tangent to parabola $y^2=4(x-9)$ with slope $m$ is
$\begin{aligned} & y=m(x-9)+\frac{1}{m}, m=\frac{-1}{2} \\ & \Rightarrow y=\frac{-(x-9)}{2}-2 \Rightarrow 2 y=-x+9-4 \\ & \Rightarrow 2 y+x=5 \end{aligned}$
Solving the tangent and parabola we get point $P$
$\begin{aligned} & \left(\frac{5-x}{2}\right)^2=4(x-9) \Rightarrow x^2-10 x+25=16 x-144 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2-26 x+169=0 \Rightarrow(x-13)^2=0 \\ & \Rightarrow P \equiv(13,-4) \end{aligned}$
Distance of $P$ from the centre of circle $(7,4)$ is $\sqrt{(13-7)^2+(-4-4)^2}=\sqrt{36+64}=10$ units.
Suppose $\mathrm{AB}$ is a focal chord of the parabola $y^2=12 x$ of length $l$ and slope $\mathrm{m}<\sqrt{3}$. If the distance of the chord $\mathrm{AB}$ from the origin is $\mathrm{d}$, then $l \mathrm{~d}^2$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
Equation of focal chord
$y-0=\tan \theta .(x-3)$
Distance from origin
$\begin{aligned} & d=\left|\frac{-3 \tan \theta}{\sqrt{1+\tan ^2 \theta}}\right| \\ & I=4 \times 3 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta \\ & I. d^2=\frac{9 \tan ^2 \theta}{1+\tan ^2 \theta} \times 12 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta \\ & =\frac{108 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}{1+\cot ^2 \theta}=108 \end{aligned}$
Let the length of the focal chord PQ of the parabola $y^2=12 x$ be 15 units. If the distance of $\mathrm{PQ}$ from the origin is $\mathrm{p}$, then $10 \mathrm{p}^2$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} & A B=15 \Rightarrow\left(3\left(t^2-\frac{1}{t^2}\right)\right)+\left(6\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)^2=225 \\ & \Rightarrow 9\left(t^2-\frac{1}{t^2}\right)+36\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2=225 \end{aligned}$
$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & \left.\left.\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2 \right[\,\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)+4\right]=25 \\ & \left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2=25 \Rightarrow\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^4=25 \\ \Rightarrow & t+\frac{1}{t}= \pm \sqrt{5} \Rightarrow\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)= \pm 1 \end{aligned}$
Equation of $A B:(y-6 t)=\left(\frac{2 t}{t^2-1}\right)\left(x-3 t^2\right)$
$\Rightarrow$ Distance from $y-6 t=m x-3 m t^2$
$\Rightarrow p=\frac{\left|3 m t^2-6 t\right|}{\sqrt{1+m^2}}=\frac{\left|\left(\frac{6 t}{t^2-1}\right)\right|}{\sqrt{5}}=\frac{6}{\sqrt{5}}$
$\left[ m=\frac{2 t}{t^2-1}=\frac{}{t-\frac{1}{t}}= \pm 2 \Rightarrow m^2=4\right]$
$\Rightarrow \quad 10 p^2=\frac{10 \times 36}{5} \Rightarrow 72$
Explanation:
$x^2+y^2=3$ and $x^2=2 y$
$y^2+2 y-3=0 $$\Rightarrow(y+3)(y-1)=0$
$y=-3$ (Rejected) or $y=1$
For $\mathrm{y}=1, \mathrm{x}=\sqrt{2} \Rightarrow P(\sqrt{2}, 1)$
$p$ lies on the line
$ \begin{aligned} & \sqrt{2} x+y=\alpha \\\\ & \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2})+1=\alpha \\\\ & \alpha=3 \end{aligned} $
For circle $\mathrm{C}_1$
$\mathrm{Q}_1$ lies on $\mathrm{y}$ axis
Let $\mathrm{Q}_1(0, \alpha)$ coordinates
$\mathrm{R}_1=2 \sqrt{3}$ (Given
Line $\mathrm{L}$ act as tangent
Apply P $=r$ (condition of tangency)
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow\left|\frac{\alpha-3}{\sqrt{3}}\right|=2 \sqrt{3} \\\\ & \Rightarrow|\alpha-3|=6\end{aligned}$
$ \therefore $ $\alpha-3=6$
$\Rightarrow \alpha=9$
$\begin{gathered}\text { or } \alpha-3=-6 \\\\ \Rightarrow \alpha=-3\end{gathered}$
$\begin{aligned} & \triangle P Q_1 Q_2=\frac{1}{2}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\sqrt{2} & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 9 & 1 \\ 0 & -3 & 1\end{array}\right| \\\\ & =\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{2}(12))=6 \sqrt{2} \\\\ & \left(\triangle P Q_1 Q_2\right)^2=72\end{aligned}$
Let $P(\alpha, \beta)$ be a point on the parabola $y^2=4 x$. If $P$ also lies on the chord of the parabola $x^2=8 y$ whose mid point is $\left(1, \frac{5}{4}\right)$, then $(\alpha-28)(\beta-8)$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
Parabola is $x^2=8 y$
Chord with mid point $\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right)$ is $\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{S}_1$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{xx}_1-4\left(\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{y}_1\right)=\mathrm{x}_1^2-8 \mathrm{y}_1 \\ & \therefore\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right)=\left(1, \frac{5}{4}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}-4\left(\mathrm{y}+\frac{5}{4}\right)=1-8 \times \frac{5}{4}=-9 \end{aligned}$
$\therefore x-4 y+4=0$ ...... (i)
$(\alpha, \beta)$ lies on (i) & also on $y^2=4 x$
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore \alpha-4 \beta+4=0 \text{ .... (ii)} \\ & \& ~\beta^2=4 \alpha \text{ .... (iii)} \end{aligned}$
Solving (ii) & (iii)
$\begin{aligned} & \beta^2=4(4 \beta-4) \Rightarrow \beta^2-16 \beta+16=0 \\ & \therefore \beta=8 \pm 4 \sqrt{3} \text { and } \alpha=4 \beta-4=28 \pm 16 \sqrt{3} \\ & \therefore(\alpha, \quad \beta) \quad=\quad(28+16 \sqrt{3}, 8+4 \sqrt{3}) \quad \& \\ & (28-16 \sqrt{3}, 8-4 \sqrt{3}) \\ & \therefore(\alpha-28)(\beta-8)=( \pm 16 \sqrt{3})( \pm 4 \sqrt{3}) \\ & =192 \end{aligned}$
Explanation:

$\frac{d y}{d x}=\left.\frac{x}{-2 a} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}\right|_N=-t$
Slope of normal $=\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{6}$
Now, $\frac{-\mathrm{at}^2+\alpha}{2 \mathrm{at}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}}$
$\Rightarrow-\mathrm{at}^2+\alpha=2 \mathrm{a}$
$\Rightarrow-6 \mathrm{a}+\alpha=2 \mathrm{a} \Rightarrow \alpha=8 \mathrm{a}$
For A and B
$\begin{aligned} & x^2=-4 a(-8 a) \\ & \Rightarrow x^2=32 a^2 \Rightarrow x= \pm 4 \sqrt{2} a \\ & \therefore A(-4 \sqrt{2} a,-8 a), B(4 \sqrt{2} a,-8 a) \\ & \therefore A B^2=(8 \sqrt{2} a)^2=128 a^2=s \\ & \therefore \text { Length of } L R=r=4 a \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{r}{s}=\frac{4 a}{128 a^2}=\frac{1}{16} \\ & \therefore 32 a=16 \Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \therefore 24 a=12 \text { Ans. } \end{aligned}$

Let the ordinate of $\mathrm{P}$ be positive and $\mathrm{M}$ be the point on the line segment PQ such that PM : MQ = 3 : 1. Then which of the following points does NOT lie on the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line $\mathrm{PQ}$?
Let $\mathrm{A}(0,1), \mathrm{B}(1,1)$ and $\mathrm{C}(1,0)$ be the mid-points of the sides of a triangle with incentre at the point $\mathrm{D}$. If the focus of the parabola $y^{2}=4 \mathrm{ax}$ passing through $\mathrm{D}$ is $(\alpha+\beta \sqrt{2}, 0)$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are rational numbers, then $\frac{\alpha}{\beta^{2}}$ is equal to :
Let $R$ be the focus of the parabola $y^{2}=20 x$ and the line $y=m x+c$ intersect the parabola at two points $P$ and $Q$.
Let the point $G(10,10)$ be the centroid of the triangle $P Q R$. If $c-m=6$, then $(P Q)^{2}$ is :
Let $\mathrm{y}=f(x)$ represent a parabola with focus $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$ and directrix $y=-\frac{1}{2}$. Then
$S=\left\{x \in \mathbb{R}: \tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{f(x)})+\sin ^{-1}(\sqrt{f(x)+1})=\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}$ :
If $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{h}, \mathrm{k})$ be a point on the parabola $x=4 y^{2}$, which is nearest to the point $\mathrm{Q}(0,33)$, then the distance of $\mathrm{P}$ from the directrix of the parabola $\quad y^{2}=4(x+y)$ is equal to :
If the tangent at a point P on the parabola $y^2=3x$ is parallel to the line $x+2y=1$ and the tangents at the points Q and R on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{1}=1$ are perpendicular to the line $x-y=2$, then the area of the triangle PQR is :

Let the tangent to the parabola $\mathrm{y}^{2}=12 \mathrm{x}$ at the point $(3, \alpha)$ be perpendicular to the line $2 x+2 y=3$. Then the square of distance of the point $(6,-4)$ from the normal to the hyperbola $\alpha^{2} x^{2}-9 y^{2}=9 \alpha^{2}$ at its point $(\alpha-1, \alpha+2)$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
$\Rightarrow \alpha= \pm 6$
$ \text { But, }\left.\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right|_{(3, \alpha)}=\frac{6}{\alpha}=1 \Rightarrow \alpha=6(\alpha=-6 \text { reject }) $
Now, hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{36}=1$, normal at
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Q}(\alpha-1, \alpha+2) \text { is } \frac{9 \mathrm{x}}{5}+\frac{36 y}{8}=45 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 x+5 y-50=0 \end{aligned} $
Now, distance of $(6,-4)$ from $2 x+5 y-50=0$ is equal to
$ \begin{aligned} & \left|\frac{2(6)-5(4)-50}{\sqrt{2^2+5^2}}\right|=\frac{58}{\sqrt{29}} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \text { Squareof distance }=116 \end{aligned} $
Let a common tangent to the curves ${y^2} = 4x$ and ${(x - 4)^2} + {y^2} = 16$ touch the curves at the points P and Q. Then ${(PQ)^2}$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$y^2=4 x$ is given by $y=m x+\frac{1}{m}$ and
Tangent of slope $m$ to the circle $(x-4)^2+y^2=16$ is given by
$ y=m(x-4) \pm 4 \sqrt{1+m^2} $
For common tangent
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{m}=-4 m \pm 4 \sqrt{1+m^2} \\\\ & \Rightarrow \left(\frac{1}{m}+4 m\right)^2=\left( \pm 4 \sqrt{1+m^2}\right)^2 \end{aligned} $
On squaring both sides, we get
$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{m^2}+16 m^2+8=16+16 m^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{m^2} =8 \Rightarrow m= \pm \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} \end{aligned} $
Then, the point of contact on parabola is $(8,4 \sqrt{2})$
Length of tangent $P Q$ from $(8,4 \sqrt{2})$ on the circle is
$ \begin{array}{ll} &\Rightarrow P Q=\sqrt{(8-4)^2+(4 \sqrt{2})^2-16} \\\\ &\Rightarrow P Q=\sqrt{16+32-16} \\\\ &\Rightarrow P Q=\sqrt{32} \Rightarrow(P Q)^2=32 \end{array} $
The ordinates of the points P and $\mathrm{Q}$ on the parabola with focus $(3,0)$ and directrix $x=-3$ are in the ratio $3: 1$. If $\mathrm{R}(\alpha, \beta)$ is the point of intersection of the tangents to the parabola at $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$, then $\frac{\beta^{2}}{\alpha}$ is equal to _______________.
Explanation:
Let the tangent to the curve $x^{2}+2 x-4 y+9=0$ at the point $\mathrm{P}(1,3)$ on it meet the $y$-axis at $\mathrm{A}$. Let the line passing through $\mathrm{P}$ and parallel to the line $x-3 y=6$ meet the parabola $y^{2}=4 x$ at $\mathrm{B}$. If $\mathrm{B}$ lies on the line $2 x-3 y=8$, then $(\mathrm{AB})^{2}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$x^2+2 x-4 y+9=0$ ..........(i)
Equation of tangent at $P(1,3)$ to the given curve (i)
$ \begin{array}{rlrl} & x(1)+2\left(\frac{x+1}{2}\right)-4\left(\frac{y+3}{2}\right)+9 =0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 2 x+2 x+2-4 y-12+18 =0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow 4 x-4 y+8 =0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow x-y+2 =0 \end{array} $
which is meet the $Y$-axis at $A$
$\therefore A \equiv(0,2)$
Equation of line passing through $P$ and parallel to $x-3 y=6$ is $x-3 y+8=0$
Since, line (ii) meet the parabola $y^2=4 x$ at $B$
$ \begin{array}{lc} &\therefore y^2=4(3 y-8) \\\\ &\Rightarrow y^2-12 y+32=0 \\\\ &\Rightarrow (y-4)(y-8)=0 \end{array} $
$\therefore$ Possible co-ordinates of $B$ are $(4,4)$ and $(16,8)$.
Since, $(4,4)$ does not satisfies line $2 x-3 y=8$
Thus, $B$ is $(16,8)$
$ \therefore (A B)^2=(16-0)^2+(8-2)^2=256+36=292 $
If the $x$-intercept of a focal chord of the parabola $y^{2}=8x+4y+4$ is 3, then the length of this chord is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
Put $(3,0)$ in the above line $\mathrm{m}=-1$
Length of focal chord $=16$
Explanation:
As $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c})$ lies on parabola so $\mathrm{c}^{2}=2 \mathrm{ab}---(1)$
Now equation of tangent to parabola $\mathrm{y}^{2}=2 \mathrm{ax}$ in point form is
$\mathrm{yy}_{1}=2 \mathrm{a} \frac{\left(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{x}_{1}\right)}{2},$
Here, $\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)=(\mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c})$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{yc}=\mathrm{a}(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{b})$
For point $\mathrm{B}$, put $\mathrm{y}=0$, now $\mathrm{x}=-\mathrm{b}$
So, area of $\triangle \mathrm{PBA}, \frac{1}{2} \times \mathrm{AB} \times \mathrm{AP}=16$
$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 2 b \times c=16 \\\\ & \Rightarrow b c=16 \end{aligned} $
As $\mathrm{b}$ and $\mathrm{c}$ are natural number so possible values of $(b, c)$ are $(1,16),(2,8),(4,4),(8,2)$ and $(16,1)$
Now from equation (1) $\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{c}^2}{2 \mathrm{~b}}$ and $\mathrm{a} \in \mathrm{N}$, so values of $(b, c)$ are $(1,16),(2,8)$ and $(4,4)$ now values of are 128,16 and 2 .
Hence sum of values of $a$ is 146 .
