JEE Advanced 2018 — Paper 2 — Question 31

Consider two straight lines, each of which is tangent to both the circle x2+y2=12x^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{1}{2} and the parabola y2=4xy^{2}=4 x. Let these lines intersect at the point Q . Consider the ellipse whose center is at the origin O(0,0)\mathrm{O}(0,0) and whose semi-major axis is OQ. If the length of the minor axis of this ellipse is 2\sqrt{2}, then which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE?

  1. Option A:

    For the ellipse, the eccentricity is 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} and the length of the latus rectum is 1

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    For the ellipse, the eccentricity is 12\frac{1}{2} and the length of the latus rectum is 12\frac{1}{2}

  3. Option C:

    The area of the region bounded by the ellipse between the lines x=12x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} and x=1x=1 is 142(π−2)\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}(\pi-2)

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    The area of the region bounded by the ellipse between the lines x=12x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} and x=1x=1 is 116(π−2)\frac{1}{16}(\pi-2)

Answer: A, C

Step-by-step solution

y=mx+1 m\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~m}}

y=mx±121+m2⇒2 m2=1+m2\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx} \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{1+\mathrm{m}^{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{2}{\mathrm{~m}^{2}}=1+\mathrm{m}^{2}

⇒(m2+2)(m2−1)=0\Rightarrow \quad\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}+2\right)\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}-1\right)=0

⇒m=±1\Rightarrow \mathrm{m}= \pm 1

⇒y=x+1&y=−x−1\Rightarrow y=x+1 \& y=-x-1

⇒Q≡(−1,0)\Rightarrow \mathrm{Q} \equiv(-1,0)

e=1−1/21=12e=\sqrt{1-\frac{1 / 2}{1}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

L.R. =2b2a=2×1/21=1=\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 1 / 2}{1}=1

Ellipse =x21+y21/2=1⇒y=−121−x2=\frac{x^{2}}{1}+\frac{y^{2}}{1 / 2}=1 \Rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{1-x^{2}}

 Area of region =2∫1/21121−x2dx=2[∣x21−x2+12sin⁡−1x∣1/21]=2(−12212+π4−π8)=2(π8−14)=(π−2)42\begin{aligned} & \text { Area of region }=2 \int_{1 / \sqrt{2}}^{1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{1-\mathrm{x}^{2}} \mathrm{dx} \\& \quad=\sqrt{2}\left[\left|\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2} \sqrt{1-\mathrm{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right|_{1 / \sqrt{2}}^{1}\right] \\& =\sqrt{2}\left(-\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{8}\right) \\& =\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{(\pi-2)}{4 \sqrt{2}} \end{aligned}
