JEE Advanced 2024 Paper 2 Online Mathematics - Parabola Question 2 English Explanation

Equation of tangent at (2t 2^2 , 4t) is

ty=x+2t2\mathrm{ty}=\mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{t}^2

∵\because It is passing through (−4,0)(-4,0)

∴0=−4+2t2⇒t=±2\therefore 0=-4+2 \mathrm{t}^2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}= \pm \sqrt{2}

∴amp;A1=(4,42)amp;B1=(4,−42)}amp;OA1=48=43amp; A1 B1=82\left.\begin{array}{rl}\therefore & \mathrm{A}_1=(4,4 \sqrt{2}) \\& \mathrm{B}_1=(4,-4 \sqrt{2})\end{array}\right\} \quad \begin{aligned}& \mathrm{OA}_1=\sqrt{48}=4 \sqrt{3} \\& \mathrm{~A}_1 \mathrm{~B}_1=8 \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}

Equation of altitude of ΔA1B1C1\Delta A_1 B_1 C_1 drawn from A1A_1 is

amp;y−42=2(x−4)amp;⇒2x−y=0... (1)\begin{aligned}& y-4 \sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2}(x-4) \\& \Rightarrow \sqrt{2} x-y=0 \quad \text{... (1)}\end{aligned}

Equation of altitude of ΔA1B1C1\Delta A_1 B_1 C_1 drawn from C1C_1 is

x=0... (2)\mathrm{x}=0\quad \text{... (2)}

Solving (1) and (2) ⇒\Rightarrow orthocentre is (0,0)(0,0)

∴\therefore correct options are (A), (C)
