    The length of the chord of the parabola \[{{x}^{2}}=4y\] having equation \[x-\sqrt{2}y+4\sqrt{2}=0\] is- [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10-Jan-2019 Evening]

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

    B)                              \[6\sqrt{3}\]

    C) \[3\sqrt{2}\]      

    D)                  \[2\sqrt{11}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Parabola \[{{x}^{2}}=4y\]                   .... (i) Chord \[x-\sqrt{2}y+4\sqrt{2}=0\]           .... (ii) Solving (i) & (2) \[{{(\sqrt{2})}^{2}}\,{{(y-4)}^{2}}=4y\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,2{{y}^{2}}-16y+32=4y\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,2{{y}^{2}}-20y+32=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{y}^{2}}-10y+16=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\left( y-2 \right)\left( y-8 \right)=0\]             \[y=2~~~~~and~~~~y=8\] \[\begin{align}   & from\,(2)\,\,x=-2\sqrt{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,x=4\sqrt{2} \\  & A(-2\sqrt{2},\,\,2)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,B(4\sqrt{2},\,\,\,8) \\  & \, \\ \end{align}\] Length of chord = distance between A and B \[=\,\,\sqrt{{{\left( 6\sqrt{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 6 \right)}^{2}}}\] \[=\,\,\,\,6\sqrt{3}\]
