JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 1)

Question

Let Pa,b be a point on the parabola y2=8x such that the tangent at P passes through the centre of the circle x2+y2-10x-14y+65=0. Let A be the product of all possible values of a and B be the product of all possible values of b. Then the value of A+B is equal to

D65

Step-by-step explanation

Given Pa,b is point on y2=8x, such that tangent at P pass through centre of x2+y2-10x-14y+65=0 i.e. 5,7

Now tangent at P2t2,4t will be ty=x+2t2

and it pass through 5,7

So, 7t=5+2t2

t=1,t=52

So, point P2t2,4t2,4 when t=1

and 252,10 when t=52

Now product of all possible value of a will be  A=2×252=25

And product of all possible value of b will be B=4×10=40

  A+B=65
