Double ordinate `A B`of the parabola `y^2=4a x`subtends an angle `pi/2`at the focus of the parabola. Then the tangents drawn to the parabolaat `Aa n dB`will intersect at`(-4a ,0)`(b) `(-2a ,0)``(-3a ,0)`(d) none of theseA. (-4a,0)B. (-2a,0)C. (-3a,0)D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(1) Let `A-=(at^(2),2at),B-=(at^(2),-2at)`. Then
`m_(OA)=(2)/(t),m_(OB)=(-2)/(t)`
Thus, `((2)/(t))((-2)/(t))=-1`
`or" "t^(2)=4`
Thus, the tangents will intersect at (-4a,0).
