Let one end of a focal chord of the parabola \( y^{2}=16x \) be (16, 16). If \( P(\alpha,\beta) \) divides this focal chord internally in the ratio 5 : 2 then the minimum value of \( \alpha+\beta \) is equal to :

  1. A 22
  2. B 7
  3. C 5
  4. D 16
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( y^{2}=16x \) \(\therefore\) parameter of point A is \( t=2 \) Parameter of point B is \( t=-\frac{1}{2} \) \(\Rightarrow\) Coordinates of \(B\) is \((1, -4)\) Case 1 : \(\alpha=\frac{5+32}{7}=\frac{37}{7} \) \( \beta=\frac{-20+32}{7}=\frac{12}{7} \)…
