Q71.The area (in sq. units) of the smaller of the two circles that touch the parabola, y2 = 4x at the point (1, 2) and the x -axis is (1) 8π(3 −2√2) (2) 8π(2 −√2) + (3) 4π(3 √2) (4) 4π(2 −√2)

What This Question Tests

This is a multi-concept problem requiring the equation of the tangent to a parabola at a given point, and then using the properties of a circle that touches this tangent and the x-axis. This leads to finding the center and radius of the circle and subsequently its area.

Concepts Tested

Equation of tangent to parabolaEquation of circleCondition for tangencyDistance from center to x-axis

Formulas Used

Tangent to y^2=4ax at (x1,y1): yy1 = 2a(x+x1)

Circle touching x-axis: C=(h,r), radius=r
