Circle 2 Question 19

20. A line M through A is drawn parallel to BD. Point S moves such that its distances from the line BD and the vertex A are equal. If locus of S cuts M at T2 and T3 and AC at T1, then area of ΔT1T2T3 is

(a) 12 sq unit

(b) 23 sq unit

(c) 1 sq unit

(d) 2 sq units

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 20. (c)

Solution:

  1. Since,

AG=2

AT1=T1G=12

As, A is the focus, T1 is the vertex and BD is the directrix of parabola.

Also, T2T3 is latusrectum.

T2T3=412 Area of ΔT1T2T3=12×12×42=1 sq unit
