Questions  

P1:y2=49x  and P2:x2=4ay are two parabolas. 

Equation of a tangent to the parabola P1 at a point where it intersects the parabola P2 is: 

a
2x−y−4a=0
b
y=0
c
x−2y+4a=0
d
x−y=0

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Two parabolas intersect at the points  (0, 0)  and (4a, 4a).Equation of the tangent to P1 at (0, 0) is x = 0 and at (4a, 4a) is y(4a)=2a(x+4a)⇒ x−2y+4a=0
