Q1.  On the parabola y = x2, the point least distance from the straight line y = 2x − 4 is ________.
a) (1,1)
b) (2,1)
c) (1,4)
d) (0,1)

View Answer

a) (1,1)

Solution:

Given, parabola y = x2  …..(i)

Straight line y = 2x − 4      …..(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

x− 2x + 4 = 0

Let f (x) = x− 2x + 4,

f′(x) = 2x − 2.

For least distance, f′(x) =0

⇒ 2x − 2 = 0

x = 1

From y = x2, y = 1

So, the point least distant from the line is (1, 1).

Q2.  If 4x2 + py2 = 45 and x2 − 4y2 = 5 cut orthogonally, then the value of p is ______.
a) 5
b) 7
c) 8
d) 9

View Answer

d) 9

Solution:

Slope of 1st curve (dy / dx)= −4x / py

Slope of 2nd curve (dy / dx)II= x / 4y

For orthogonal intersection (−4x / py) (x / 4y) = −1

x2 = py2

On solving equations of given curves x = 3, y = 1

p (1) = (3)2 = 9

p = 9

Q3.  If the foci of the ellipse x2 / 16 + y2 / b2 = 1 and the hyperbola x2 / 144 − y2 / 8 = 1 / 25 coincide, then the value of b2 is _______.
a) 7
b) 5
c) 9
d) 11

View Answer

a) 7

Q4. Let E be the ellipse x2 / 9 + y2 / 4 = 1 and C be the circle x2 + y2 = 9. Let P and Q be the points (1, 2) and (2, 1), respectively. Then
a) Q lies inside C but outside E
b) Q lies outside both C and E
c) P lies inside both C and E
d) P lies inside C but outside E

View Answer

d) P lies inside C but outside E

Q5. The line x − 1 = 0 is the directrix of the parabola, y− kx + 8 = 0. Then, one of the values of k is ________.
a) -4, 8
b) 8, 4
c) -8, 4
d) 4, 2

View Answer

c) -8, 4

Solution:

The parabola is y2 = 4 * [k / 4] (x − [8 / k]).

Putting y = Y, x − 8k = X, the equation is Y2 = 4 * [k / 4] * X

The directrix  is X + k / 4 = 0,i.e. x − 8 / k + k / 4 = 0.

But x − 1 = 0 is the directrix.

So, [8 / k] − k / 4 = 1

⇒ k = −8, 4

Q6. The foci of the ellipse 25 (x + 1)2 + 9 (y + 2)2 = 225 are at ___________.
a) (2, 5); (4, 9)
b) (1, 3); (1, 5)
c) (1, 2); (1, 6)
d) (1, 4); (1, 3)

View Answer

c) (1, 2); (1, 6)

25(x + 1)2/225 + 9(y + 2)2/225 = 1

Here, a = √[225 / 25] = 15 / 5,  b = √[225/9] = 15 / 3

e = √[1 − 9 / 25] = 4 / 5

Focus = (−1, −2 ± [15 / 3] * [4 / 5])

= (−1, −2 ± 4)

= (1, 2); (1, 6)

Q7. Find the equation of the axis of the given hyperbola x2/3 −  y2/2 = 1 which is equally inclined to the axes.
a) x + 1
b) x – 1
c) 1+ x2
d) 1 – x2

View Answer

a) x + 1

Solution:

x2/3 −  y2/2 = 1

Equation of tangent is equally inclined to the axis i.e., tan θ = 1 = m.

Equation of tangent y = mx + \sqrt{a^2m^2 − b^2}

Given equation is [x2/3] − [y2/2] = 1 is an equation of hyperbola which is of form [x2/a2] − [y2/b2] = 1.

Now, on comparing a= 3, b2 = 2

y = 1 * x + \sqrt{3 \times (1)^2 − 2}

y = x + 1

Q8. The centre of the circle passing through the point (0, 1) and touching the curve y = x2 at (2, 4) is __________.
a) (−53 / 10, 5 / 14)
b) (−10 / 17, 13 / 10)
c) (−5 / 16, 53 / 10)
d) (−16 / 5, 53 / 10)

View Answer

d) (−16 / 5, 53 / 10)

Tangent to the parabola y = xat (2, 4) is [1 / 2] (y + 4) = x * 2 or

4x − y − 4 = 0

It is also a tangent to the circle so that the centre lies on the normal through (2, 4) whose equation is x + 4y = λ, where 2 + 16 = λ.

Therefore, x + 4y = 18 is the normal on which lies (h, k).

h + 4k = 18  ….. (i)

Again, distance of centre (h, k) from (2, 4) and (0, 1) on the circle are equal.

Hence, (h − 2)+ (k − 4)2 = h2 + (k − 1)2

So, 4h + 6k = 19     …..(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii), we get the centre = (−16 / 5, 53 / 10)

Q9. The locus of the midpoint of the line segment joining the focus to a moving point on the parabola y2 = 4ax is another parabola with the directrix ___________.
a) 1
b) 4
c) 2
d) 0

View Answer

d) 0

Solution:

α = [at2 + a] / 2, β = [2at + 0] / 2

⇒ 2α = at2 + a, at = β

2α = a * [β2 / a2] + a or

2aα = β2 / a2

The locus is y2 = 4a / 2 (x − [a / 2])

= 4b (x − b), (b = a / 2)

Directrix is (x − b) + b = 0 or x = 0.

Q10. The equation of 2x2 + 3y2 − 8x − 18y + 35 = k represents a ________.
a) 1
b) 0 
c) 7
d) 3

View Answer

b) 0 

Solution: 

Given equation, 2x2 + 3y2 − 8x − 18y + 35 – k = 0

Compare with ax2 + by2 + 2hxy + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,we get

a = 2, b = 3, h = 0, g = −4, f = −9, c = 35 − k

Δ = abc + 2fgh − af− bg− ch2 = 6 (35 − k) + 0 − 162 − 48 − 0

Δ = 210 − 6k − 210 = −6k;

Δ = 0, if k = 0

So, that given equation is a point if k = 0.
