Letbe a parabola with focus.Let the tangents to the parabolamake an angle ofwith the linetouch the parabolaatand. Then the value offor whichandare collinear is:

Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Lines making angle with
So using formula , we have slope .
Which are perpendicular to each-other so, are collinear for all . (by property that perpendicular tangents will lie on directrix and chord of contact will pass through focus, so the points are collinear )
