Question

For the above problem, the area of triangle formed by chord of contact and the tangents is given by

Solution

Correct option is

8

  y2 = 4x                                           … (1)

chord of contact y = x – 1               … (2)

  AC(–1, 2)

Intersection of (1) and (2) is

   

Putting this in (2),

         

Take   

        (PQ)2 = (x1 – x2)2 + (y1 + y2)   (PQ)2

.
