    The mid-point of the chord 2x + y -4 = 0 of the parabola \[{{y}^{2}}=4x\]is

    A) (5/2,-1)                

    B) -1,5/2)

    C) (3/2, -1)               

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let\[(h,k)\] be the mid-point of the chord \[2x+y-4=0\]of the parabola \[{{y}^{2}}=4x\]. Then, its equation is \[ky-2(x+h)={{k}^{2}}-4h\]          [using \[T=S'\]] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2x-ky+{{k}^{2}}-2h=0\]                              ? (i) Eq. (i) and \[2x+y-4=0\]represent the same line. \[\therefore \]  \[-K=1\]AND \[{{k}^{2}}-2h=-4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[k=-1,h=\frac{5}{2}\] Hence, the required mid-point is \[\left( \frac{5}{2},-1 \right)\]
