Question

The tangents at three points A, B, C on the parabola y2 = 4x, taken in pairs intersect at the points Pand R. If  be the areas of the triangles ABC and PQR respectively, then 

Solution

Correct option is

Let the coordinate of A, B, C be (ti2, 2ti)i = 1, 2, 3 respectively. The tangents at A and B are

         t1y = x t12  and   t2y = x t22

which intersect at x = t1t2, y = t1 + t2

so the vertices are P(t1t2t1 + t2), Q(t2t3t2 + t3) and R(t1t3t1+ t3)
