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

Let \(P\) be a point on the parabola, \(y^{2}=12 x\) and \(N\) be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from \(P\) on the axis of the parabola. A line is now drawn through the mid-point \(M\) of \(PN\), parallel to its axis which meets the parabola at \(Q\). If the \(y\)-intercept of the line \(NQ\) is \(\frac{4}{3},\) then 

  1. A \(MQ =\frac{1}{3}\)
  2. B \(PN =3\)
  3. C \(MQ =\frac{1}{4}\)
  4. D \(PN =4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(MQ =\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P =\left(3 t ^{2}, 6 t \right) ; N =\left(3 t ^{2}, 0\right)\) \(M =\left(3 t ^{2}, 3 t \right)\) Equation of \(MQ : y =3 t\) \(\therefore \quad Q=\left(\frac{3}{4} t^{2}, 3 t\right)\) Equation of NQ…
