If a chord, which is not a tangent, of the parabola `y^(2)=16x` has the equation 2x+y=p, and midpoint (h,k), then which of the following is (are) possible value(s) of p,h and k ?

A

p = - 1, h = 1, k = - 3

B

p = - 2, h = 3, k = - 4

C

p = - 2, h = 2, k = - 4

D

p = 5, h - 4, k = - 3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Equation of chord with mid-point (h,k)
`T = S_(1)`
`yk - 8x - 8h = k^(2) - 1h`
`2x = (yk)/(4) = 2h - (k^(2))/(4)`
`:' 2x + y = p`
`:. K = - 4` and `p = 2 h - 4`
Where h = 3
`p = 2 xx 3 - 4 = 2`
