MHT CET · Maths · Parabola
The angle, between the tangents drawn from the point \((1,4)\) to the parabola \(\mathrm{y}^2=4 x\), is
- A \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
- B \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
- C \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
- D \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The parabola is \(y^2=4x\), so \(a=1\). Point is \((x_1, y_1)=(1,4)\).
