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

Let the shortest distance from \((\mathrm{a}, 0), \mathrm{a}\gt0\), to the parabola \(y^2=4 x\) be 4 . Then the equation of the circle passing through the point \((a, 0)\) and the focus of the parabola, and having its centre on the axis of the parabola is :

  1. A \(x^2+y^2-10 x+9=0\)
  2. B \(x^2+y^2-6 x+5=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+y^2-4 x+3=0\)
  4. D \(x^2+y^2-8 x+7=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x^2+y^2-6 x+5=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Normal at P \(\begin{aligned} & y+ t x=2 t+t^3 \\ & \uparrow \\ &(\mathrm{a}, 0) \\ & \mathrm{at}= 2 \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{t}^3 \\ & \mathrm{a}= 2+\mathrm{t}^2 \\ & \mathbb{R}\left(2+\mathrm{t}^2, 0\right) \end{aligned}\)…
