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

Let a line \(L: 2 x+y=k, k\,>\,0\) be a tangent to the hyperbola \(x^{2}-y^{2}=3 .\) If \(L\) is also a tangent to the parabola \(y^{2}=\alpha x\), then \(\alpha\) is equal to :

  1. A \(24\)
  2. B \(-12\)
  3. C \(-24\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-24\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tangent to hyperbola of Slope \(\mathrm{m}=-2\) (given) \(y=-2 x \pm \sqrt{3(3)}\) \(\left(y=m x \pm \sqrt{a^{2} m^{2}-b^{2}}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow y+2 x=\pm 3 \Rightarrow 2 x+y=3(k\,>\,0)\) For parabola \(y^{2}=a x\) \(y=m x+\frac{\alpha}{4 m}\)…
