From the point \((-1,-6)\), two tangents are drawn to \(y^2=4 x\). Then the angle between the two tangents is
- A \(\pi / 3\)
- B \(\pi / 4\)
- C \(\pi / 6\)
- D \(\pi / 2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\pi / 2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\((-1,-6)\) lies on the directrix of the parabola \(y^2=4 \mathrm{x}\). \(\therefore\) angle between tangents \(=\pi / 2\)
