If two chords drawn from the point `A(4,4)` to the parabola `x^2=4y` are bisected by the line `y=m x ,` the interval in which `m` lies is `(-2sqrt(2),2sqrt(2))` `(-oo,-sqrt(2))uu(sqrt(2),oo)` `(-oo,-2sqrt(2)-2)uu(2sqrt(2)-2,oo)` none of these

Explanation

Point (4,4) lies on the given parabola `x^(2)=4y`.
Any point on line y=mxis Q `(alpha,malpha)`.
Let the chord PR be bisected by Q.
`:." "alpha=(4+x_(1))/(2)rArrx_(2)=2alpha-4`
`andmalpha=(4+y_(1))/(2)rArry_(2)=2malpha-4`
Now, Q lies on the curve.
`:." "(2alpha-4)^(2)=4(2malpha-4)`
`rArr" "4alpha^(2)+16-16alpha=8(malpha-2)`
`rArr" "4alpha^(2)-8(2+m)alpha+32=0`
Since it is possible to draw two chords which get bisected at point Q, then above equation has two distinct real roots.
