Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{9}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola is \[ y=x^{2}-4 x+5 \] \(\Rightarrow \quad y=(x-2)^{2}+1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad(x-2)^{2}=(y-1)\) and equation of line is \[ \begin{array}{r} y=x+1 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x-y=-1 \end{array} \] On putting the value of \((y-1)\) from Eqs. (ii) in (1). we get…
