Questions  

 Tangents are drawn to the parabola (x3)2+(x+4)2=(3x4y6)225 at the extremities of the chord 2x3y-18=0

 Then the angle between the tangents is 

a
900
b
450
c
600
d
300

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The given chord 2x−3y−18=0 satisfies the point  (3, −4 ) which is the focus of the given parabola. Hence, it is a  focal chord and the tangents at extremities are perpendicular.  since the tangents drawn at the ends  of a focal chord intersects on the directrix and  angle between them is π2
