Let \(S\) be the focus of the parabola \(y^2=4 a x\) and \(\mathrm{PQ}\) be a focal chord such that \(\mathrm{SP}=\alpha\) and \(\mathrm{SQ}=\alpha^{\prime}\). Then \(\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\alpha^{\prime}}=\)
- A \(a\)
- B \(a^2\)
- C \(\frac{1}{a}\)
- D \(\frac{1}{a^2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{a}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{SP} = \alpha = a(1+t_1^2)\), \(\mathrm{SQ} = \alpha' = a(1+t_2^2)\) \(\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\alpha'} = \frac{1}{a(1+t_1^2)} + \frac{1}{a(1+t_2^2)}\) \(= \frac{1}{a} \left( \frac{1+t_2^2+1+t_1^2}{(1+t_1^2)(1+t_2^2)} \right)\) For a focal chord, \(t_1t_2=-1\), so…
