Questions  

A point R divides the line segment joining the points P(1, 3) and Q(1, 1) in the ratio 1:λ If R is an interior point of the parabola y2 = 4x, then λ can take a value in the interval 

a
−1<λ<35
b
−35<λ<5
c
−2<λ<2
d
−35<λ<1

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Coordinates of R are =λ+1λ+1,3λ+1λ+1=1,3λ+1λ+1⇒For all values of λ x-coordinate of R is 1 and y-coordinate of R varies between –2 and 2⇒ −2<3λ+1λ+1<2.⇒ −35<λ<1
