JEE Advanced 2019 Paper 2 Offline Mathematics - Parabola Question 11 English Explanation

It is given that, the centres of circles C1, C2 and C3 are co-linear,

∴\therefore |001341hk1|=0⇒4h=3k ....(i)

and MN is the length of diameter of circle C3, so

MN = 3+(3−0)2+(4−0)2+43 + \sqrt {{{(3 - 0)}^2} + {{(4 - 0)}^2}} + 4

= 3+5+4=123 + 5 + 4 = 12

So, radius of circle C3, r = 6 ......(ii)

Since, the circle C3 touches C1 at M and C2 at N, so

|C1 C3| = |r −- 3|

⇒\Rightarrow h2+k2=3\sqrt {{h^2} + {k^2}} = 3

⇒\Rightarrow h2 + k2 = 9 .....(iii)

From Eqs. (i) and (iii), we get

h2+16h29=9⇒25h2=81{h^2} + {{16{h^2}} \over 9} = 9 \Rightarrow 25{h^2} = 81

⇒h=+95\Rightarrow h = + {9 \over 5} and k=+125k = + {{12} \over 5}

So, 2h+k=185+125=62h + k = {{18} \over 5} + {{12} \over 5} = 6

Now, equation common chord XY of circles C1 and C2 is

C1 −- C2 = 0

⇒\Rightarrow 6x + 8y = 18

⇒\Rightarrow 3x + 4y = 9 ....(iv)

Now, PY2 = GY2 −- GP2

= 9−8125=144259 - {{81} \over {25}} = {{144} \over {25}}

⇒\Rightarrow PY = 125{{12} \over 5}

∵\because XY=2PY=2×125=245XY = 2PY = 2 \times {{12} \over 5} = {{24} \over 5}

Similarly, equation of ZW is 3x + 4y = 9.

Now, So, length of perpendicular from C3 to

ZW=∣3(95)+4(125)−9∣5=65ZW = {{\left| {3\left( {{9 \over 5}} \right) + 4\left( {{{12} \over 5}} \right) - 9} \right|} \over 5} = {6 \over 5}

So, PW2=C3W2−C3P2=36−3625=86425P{W^2} = {C_3}{W^2} - {C_3}{P^2} = 36 - {{36} \over {25}} = {{864} \over {25}}

{ ∵\because C3W = r = 6}

⇒\Rightarrow PW=1265PW = {{12\sqrt 6 } \over 5}

∵\because ZW=2PW=2465ZW = 2PW = {{24\sqrt 6 } \over 5}

∴\therefore length of ZWlength of XY=6{{length\,of\,ZW} \over {length\,of\,XY}} = \sqrt 6

Now, area of

ΔMZN=12(MN)(PZ)=12×(12)(12WZ)\Delta MZN = {1 \over 2}(MN)(PZ) = {1 \over 2} \times (12)\left( {{1 \over 2}WZ} \right)

{ ∵\because MN = 12}

= 3WZ=32465=72653WZ = 3{{24\sqrt 6 } \over 5} = {{72\sqrt 6 } \over 5}

and area of Δ\Delta ZMW = 12{1 \over 2} (ZW) (MP)

= 12(2465)(MG+GP){1 \over 2}\left( {{{24\sqrt 6 } \over 5}} \right)(MG + GP)

=1265(3+95)= {{12\sqrt 6 } \over 5}\left( {3 + {9 \over 5}} \right)

{ ∵\because MG = 3 and GP = 95{{9 \over 5}} }

=1265(245)= {{12\sqrt 6 } \over 5}\left( {{{24} \over 5}} \right)

= 28865{{288\sqrt 6 } \over 5}

∴\therefore Area of ΔMZNArea of ΔZMW=726528865=54{{Area\,of\,\Delta MZN} \over {Area\,of\,\Delta ZMW}} = {{{{72\sqrt 6 } \over 5}} \over {{{288\sqrt 6 } \over 5}}} = {5 \over 4}

∵\because Common tangent of circles C1 and C3 is C1 −- C3 = 0

⇒\Rightarrow (x2+y2−9)−[(x−95)2+(y−125)2−36]=0({x^2} + {y^2} - 9) - \left[ {{{\left( {x - {9 \over 5}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {y - {{12} \over 5}} \right)}^2} - 36} \right] = 0

⇒\Rightarrow 185x+245y+18=0{{18} \over 5}x + {{24} \over 5}y + 18 = 0

⇒\Rightarrow 3x + 4y + 15 = 0 ......(v)

∵\because Tangent (v) is also touches the parabola x2 = 8 α\alpha y,

∴\therefore −2α(−34)2=−154- 2\alpha {\left( { - {3 \over 4}} \right)^2} = - {{15} \over 4}

⇒\Rightarrow α=103\alpha = {{10} \over 3}

So combination (iv), (S) is only incorrect.

Hence, option (b) is correct.
