JEE Main 2024 — 1 February, Shift 2 — Question 28

The sum of squares of all possible values of kk, for which area of the region bounded by the parabolas 2y2=kx2 y^{2}=k x and ky2=2(y−x)\mathrm{ky}^{2}=2(\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x}) is maximum, is equal to

Answer: 8

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

ky2=2(y−x)\mathrm{ky}^{2}=2(\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{x})

2y2=kx2 y^{2}=k x

Point of intersection →\rightarrow

ky2=2(y−2y2k)y=0\begin{gathered} k y^{2}=2\left(y-\frac{2 y^{2}}{k}\right) y=0 \end{gathered}

ky=2(1−2yk)\quad k y=2\left(1-\frac{2 y}{k}\right)

ky+4yk=2k y+\frac{4 y}{k}=2

y=2k+4k=2kk2+4y=\frac{2}{k+\frac{4}{k}}=\frac{2 k}{k^{2}+4}

A=∫02kk2+4((y−ky22)−(2y2k))⋅dy=y22−(k2+2k)⋅y33∣02kk2+4=(2kk2+4)2[12−k2+42k×13×2kk2+4]A=\int_{0}^{\frac{2 k}{k^{2}+4}}\left(\left(y-\frac{k y^{2}}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{2 y^{2}}{k}\right)\right) \cdot d y =\frac{y^{2}}{2}-\left.\left(\frac{k}{2}+\frac{2}{k}\right) \cdot \frac{y^{3}}{3}\right|_{0} ^{\frac{2 k}{k^{2}+4}} =\left(\frac{2 k}{k^{2}+4}\right)^{2}\left[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{k^{2}+4}{2 k} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2 k}{k^{2}+4}\right]

=16×4×(1k+4k)2=\frac{1}{6} \times 4 \times\left(\frac{1}{k+\frac{4}{k}}\right)^{2}

A⋅M≥G⋅MA \cdot M \geq G \cdot M

(k+4k)2≥2 \frac{\left(k+\frac{4}{k}\right)}{2} \geq 2

k+4k≥4\mathrm{k}+\frac{4}{\mathrm{k}} \geq 4

Area is maximum when k=4kk=\frac{4}{k}

k=2,−2\mathrm{k}=2,-2

The sum of squares of all possible values of kk is 88.
