Q66.Let a line L : 2x + y = k, k > 0 be a tangent to the hyperbola x2 −y2 = 3. If L is also a tangent to the parabola y2 = αx, then α is equal to: (1) 12 (2) −12 (3) 24 (4) −24

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to apply tangency conditions for a line to both a hyperbola and a parabola to find an unknown parameter.

Concepts Tested

Condition for tangency of a line to hyperbolaCondition for tangency of a line to parabola

Formulas Used

Condition for tangent y=mx+c to x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1 is c^2 = a^2m^2 - b^2

Condition for tangent y=mx+c to y^2=4ax is c=a/m
