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

Let \(P(4, -4)\) and \(Q(9, 6)\) be two points on the parabola, \(y^2 = 4x\) and let \(X\) be any point on the arc \(POQ\) of this parabola, where \(O\) is the vertex of this parabola, such that the area of \(\Delta PXQ\) is maximum. Then this maximum Area (in sq. units) is

  1. A \(\frac{75}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{125}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{625}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{125}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{125}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(^mPQ = \frac{{6 + 4}}{{9 - 4}} = 2\) \(2yy' = 4 \Rightarrow 2y \times 2 = 4 \Rightarrow y = 1,x = \frac{1}{4},X = \left( {\frac{1}{4},1} \right)\) (coordinates of points \(X\) for maximum area) \(\therefore \) area \( = \frac{{125}}{4}\) sq. units.
