Q71.Let ๐‘ƒ be the point of intersection of the common tangents to the parabola ๐‘ฆ2 = 12๐‘ฅ and the hyperbola 8๐‘ฅ2 - ๐‘ฆ2 = 8. If ๐‘† and ๐‘†' denote the foci of the hyperbola where ๐‘† lies on the positive ๐‘ฅ-axis then ๐‘ƒ divides ๐‘†๐‘†' in a ratio: (1) 5: 4 (2) 2: 1 (3) 13: 11 (4) 14: 13

What This Question Tests

This question integrates concepts of tangents to both parabola and hyperbola, finding their common tangent, locating the intersection point, and then using the section formula to determine how this point divides the line segment joining the foci of the hyperbola.
