If a point \(\mathrm{P}(\alpha, \beta)\) on the line \(\mathrm{y}=1\) is such that the two distinct chords drawn on \(x^2+y^2-\alpha x-y=0\) from \(P\) are bisected by the \(x\)-axis, then

  1. A \(\alpha^2 < 8\)
  2. B \(\alpha=2 \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(\alpha^2>8\)
  4. D \(\alpha=-2 \sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\alpha^2>8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(\mathrm{p}=(\alpha, \beta)\) and Let \(\mathrm{C}\) is the mid point of chord PQ, Let \(\mathrm{C}=(\lambda, 0) \Rightarrow \beta=(-\alpha+2 \mathrm{~h},-\beta)\) Since \(\beta\) lies on the circle.…
