Let L be a normal to the parabola y2 = 4x. If L passes through the point (9, 6), then L is given by

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: A, B, D. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. Ay – x + 3 = 0
  2. By + 3x – 33 = 0
  3. Cy + x – 15 = 0
  4. Dy – 2x + 12 = 0

Correct answer: A, B, D

Solution

(a,b,d)
Sol. Equation of normal is
y = mx – 2m – m3
(9, 6) satisfies it
6 = 9m – 2m – m3
m3 – 7m + 6 = 0 ⇒ m = 1, 2, – 3
m = 1 ⇒ y = x – 3
m = 2 ⇒ y = 2x – 12
m = – 3 ⇒ y = – 3x + 33
