JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

Let \(A\,(4, -4)\) and \(B\,(9,6)\) be points on the parabola \(y^2 = 4x\) . Let \(C\) be chosen on the arc \(AOB\) of the parabola, where \(O\) is the origin, such that the area of \(\Delta ACB\) is maximum. Then, the area (in sq. units) of \(\Delta ACB,\) is

  1. A \(31\frac{3}{4}\)
  2. B \(32\)
  3. C \(30\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(31\frac{1}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(31\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For maximum area, tangent at the point \(c\) must be parallet to chord \(BC\). \(\therefore t = \frac{1}{2}\)
