    If two tangents drawn from the point \[P\left( \alpha ,\beta  \right)\] to the parabola \[{{y}^{2}}=4x\] be such that the slope of one tangent is double of the other then -

    A) \[9\beta =2{{a}^{2}}\]       

    B)        \[9\alpha =2{{\beta }^{2}}\]

    C) \[2\alpha =9{{\beta }^{2}}\]        

    D)        None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Equation of tangent to the parabola \[{{y}^{2}}=4x\] Is\[y=mx+\frac{1}{m}\]           ...(1) it passes through \[\left( \alpha ,\beta  \right)\] \[\therefore \beta =m\alpha +\frac{1}{m}\]             \[\Rightarrow {{m}^{2}}\alpha -m\beta +1=0\] let it roots are \[{{m}_{1}}\] and \[{{m}_{2}}\] according to condition if \[{{m}_{1}}=m\] them \[{{m}_{2}}=2m\] sum of roots \[{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}=m+2m=\frac{\beta }{\alpha }\] \[\Rightarrow 3m=\frac{\beta }{\alpha }\Rightarrow m=\frac{\beta }{3\alpha }\]      ?....(2) Product of roots \[{{m}_{1}}.{{m}_{2}}=\left( m \right)\left( 2m \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{\alpha }\] \[\Rightarrow 2{{m}^{2}}=\frac{1}{\alpha }\] Form (1)             \[\frac{2.{{\beta }^{2}}}{9{{\alpha }^{2}}}=\frac{1}{\alpha }\Rightarrow 2{{\beta }^{2}}=9\alpha \]
