Q72.The normal at (2, 23 ) to the ellipse, x216 + y23 = 1 touches a parabola, whose equation is (1) y2 = −104x (2) y2 = 14x (3) y2 = 26x (4) y2 = −14x sin(π cos2 x)

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to find the equation of a normal to an ellipse at a given point and then apply the condition for a line to be tangent to a parabola. It requires careful calculation and formula application.

Concepts Tested

Equation of normal to an ellipseCondition for tangency of a line to a parabolaAlgebraic manipulation

Formulas Used

Normal to x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 at (x₁, y₁): a²x/x₁ - b²y/y₁ = a² - b²

Condition for y = mx + c to be tangent to y² = 4Ax: c = A/m
