Consider the curves C1:y2=4x and C2:x2+y2-6x+1=0  Assertion (A): The common tangents to the curves C1 and C2 are orthogonal. Reason (R): x-y+1=0 and x+y+1=0 are the common tangents to the curves C1 and C2

  1. A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  3. C Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  4. D Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: C1:y2=4x, a=1 and C2:x2+y2-6x+1=0, c3,0 r=22 Now equation of tangent in slope form for parabola y=mx+am ⇒my=m2x+1  ...i This is the tangent to the given circle also So, the distance from the centre of the circle should be equal to radius…
