Let P be the point on the parabolay2=4xwhich is at the shortest distance from the center S of the circlex2+y2-4x-16y+64=0.Let Q be the point on the circle dividing the line segment SP internally. Then -

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:


y2=4x
Point P lies on normal to parabola passing through centre of circle
y+tx=2t+t3......(i)
8+2t=2t+t3
t=2
P4, 4
SP= 4-22+4-82
SP=25
SQ=2
PQ=25-2
SQQP=15-1=5+14
To findxintercept
Puty=0in (i)
x=2+t2
x=6
Slope of common normal= -t= -2
Slope of tangent=12
