    The shortest distance between line \[y-x=1\] and  curve \[x={{y}^{2}}\], is

    A)    \[\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{8}\]                

    B)  \[\frac{8}{3\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\]                    

    D)  \[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[P({{y}^{2}},y)\]             \[\therefore \]Perpendicular distance from P to \[x-y+1=0\] \[=\frac{|{{y}^{2}}-y+1|}{\sqrt{2}}\]             As, \[{{y}^{2}}-y+1>0\,\forall \,y\,\in \,R\] \[\therefore \] Min value \[=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left( \frac{4ac-{{b}^{2}}}{4a} \right)=\frac{3}{4\sqrt{2}}\]
