Q.

Tangent is drawn at any point (p, q) on the parabola y2 = 4ax . Tangents are drawn from any point on this tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = a2 , such that the chords of contact passes through a fixed point (r, s). Then p, q, r and s can hold the relation

Detailed Solution

The equation of tangent is yq=2a(x+p). Let x1,y1 lies on this tangent.  
Then y1q=2ax1+p Chord of contact for the circle xx1+yy1=a2 
 Passing through (r, s) 
rx1+sy1=a2 Also,xx1+y2aqx1+pa2=0 x1x+2ayq+2apqya2=0
x1(qx+2ay)+2apya2q=0   qx+2ay=0 and 2apy=a2q
 or qpx+a2q=0 or x=a2p,y=aq2p  So, r=a2p and s=aq2p  ⇒ 4ps2=rq2
