Let P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) be two distinct points on the ellipse x29+ y24=1 such that y1>0, and y2>0. Let C denote the circle x2+y2=9, and M be the point (3,0). Suppose the line x=x1 intersects C at R, and the line x=x2 intersects C at S, such that the y-coordinates of R and S are positive. Let ROM= 6 and SOM= 3, where O denotes the origin (0,0). Let |XY| denote the length of the line segment XY. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

  1. The equation of the line joining P and Q is 2x+3y=3(1+ 3)
  2. The equation of the line joining P and Q is 2x+y=3(1+ 3)
  3. If N2=(x2,0), then 3|N2Q|=2|N2S|
  4. If N1=(x1,0), then 9|N1P|=4|N1R|

Answer

(1) The equation of the line joining P and Q is 2x+3y=3(1+ 3), (3) If N2=(x2,0), then 3|N2Q|=2|N2S|

Solution

C is the auxiliary circle, so ROM, SOM are the eccentric angles of P, Q.

P= (3 6,2 6 )= ( 3 32,1 ), R= ( 3 32, 32 ); Q= ( 32, 3 ), S= ( 32, 3 32 ).

Slope PQ= 3-1 32- 3 32=- 23; line: 2x+3y=3 3+3=3(1+ 3) — (A) true, (B) false.

|N2Q|= 3, |N2S|= 3 32: 3 3=2 3 32 — (C) true.

|N1P|=1, |N1R|= 32: 9 6 — (D) false.

Answer: (A), (C)

Consider the ellipse x29+ y24=1. Let S(p,q) be a point in the first quadrant such that p29+ q24>1. Two tangents are drawn from S to the ellipse, of which one meets the ellipse at one end point of the minor axis and the other meets the ellipse at a point T in the fourth quadrant. Let R be the vertex of the ellipse with positive x-coordinate and O be the center of the ellipse. If the area of the triangle ORT is 32, then which of the following options is correct?

  1. q=2, p=3 3
  2. q=2, p=4 3
  3. q=1, p=5 3
  4. q=1, p=6 3

A normal with slope 1 6 is drawn from the point (0,- ) to the parabola x2=-4ay, where a>0. Let L be the line passing through (0,- ) and parallel to the directrix of the parabola. Suppose that L intersects the parabola at two points A and B. Let r denote the length of the latus rectum and s denote the square of the length of the line segment AB. If r:s=1:16, then the value of 24a is .
