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

Let \(\mathrm{P}(4,4 \sqrt{3})\) be a point on the parabola \(y^2=4 \mathrm{a} x\) and PQ be a focal chord of the parabola. If M and \(N\) are the foot of perpendiculars drawn from \(P\) and \(Q\) respectively on the directrix of the parabola, then the area of the quadrilateral PQMN is equal to :

  1. A \(17 \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{263 \sqrt{3}}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{34 \sqrt{3}}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{343 \sqrt{3}}{8}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{343 \sqrt{3}}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & (4,4 \sqrt{3}) \text { lies on } y^2=4 \mathrm{ax} \\ & \Rightarrow 48=4 \mathrm{a} \cdot 4 \\ & \quad 4 \mathrm{a}=12 \end{aligned}\) \(\Rightarrow y^2=12 x\) is equation of parabola Now, parameter of \(P\) is \(t_1=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow\)…
