Q.

 Let RS be the diameter of the circle x2+y2=1, where S is the point (1,0) . Let P be a variable point (other than R and S) on the circle and tangents to the circle at S and P meet at the point Q. The normal to the circle at P intersects a line drawn through Q parallel to RS at point E. Then the locus of E passes through the point (s)

Detailed Solution

 Let P(cosα,sinα);s(1,0) and  RS is X -axis and Tangent at P is xcosα+ysinα=11

tangent at S1,0 is x=1 2

solve 1,2

Q1,1-cosαsinα , now  Normal at P is xsinα-ycosα=0 3

 Line through Q parallel to x -axis is y=1-cosαsinα  , solve with 3,

Ecosα1+cosα,1-cosαsinα=(h,k)

 we have to find  Locus of E,   now  k=1-cosαsinα=tanα2

h=111+cosα=112sec2α2=1121+k2locusofE  is x=1212y2 y2=12x
