Length of the common chord of the parabola y2=

8x and the circle  x2+y22x4y=0 is 

a
125
b
5
c
25
d
35

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Any point on the parabola is 2t2,4t which lies onthe circle if t4+3t2−4t=0⇒t=0,1⇒end points of the common chord are (0, 0) and(2, 4) and the required length is 25.
