  1. A -2
  2. B -1
  3. C 1
  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of parabola is \(y^{2}=x\) and line \(y=m x\) For intersection point of both curves put \(x=y^{2}\), we get \[ y=m y^{2} \Rightarrow y(m y-1)=0 \] \(\Rightarrow \quad y=0\) or \(y=\frac{1}{m}\) Then, \(\quad x=0\) or \(x=\frac{1}{m^{2}}\) \(\therefore\) Intersection…
