The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that if the line \( x = 3y + k \) touches the parabola \( 3y^2 = 4x \), then \( k = 5 \). ### Step 2: Rewrite the Line Equation We can rewrite the line equation in standard form: \[ x - 3y - k = 0 \] Here, \( l = 1 \), \( m = -3 \), and \( n = -k \). ### Step 3: Determine the Parabola's Standard Form The equation of the parabola is given as \( 3y^2 = 4x \). We can rewrite this in the standard form: \[ y^2 = \frac{4}{3}x \] From this, we can identify \( a \) (the distance from the vertex to the focus) as: \[ 4a = \frac{4}{3} \implies a = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 4: Condition for Tangency The condition for the line \( lx + my + n = 0 \) to be a tangent to the parabola \( y^2 = 4ax \) is given by: \[ ln = am^2 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ (1)(-k) = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)(-3)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ -k = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 9 \implies -k = 3 \implies k = -3 \] ### Step 5: Conclusion for Assertion Since we found \( k = -3 \), which contradicts the assertion that \( k = 5 \), we conclude that the assertion is **false**. ### Step 6: Understanding the Reason The reason states that the equation of the tangent \( y^2 = 8x \) is inclined at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) to the axis, given by the line \( x - \sqrt{3}y + 6 = 0 \). ### Step 7: Finding the Slope from the Reason From the line equation \( x - \sqrt{3}y + 6 = 0 \), we can express it in slope-intercept form: \[ \sqrt{3}y = x + 6 \implies y = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}x + 2\sqrt{3} \] Thus, the slope \( m \) of the line is: \[ m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 8: Angle of Inclination The angle of inclination \( \theta \) is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \implies \theta = 30^\circ \] This confirms that the tangent line is inclined at \( 30^\circ \) to the x-axis. ### Step 9: Conclusion for Reason Since the slope from the line matches the expected slope for an angle of \( 30^\circ \), the reason is **true**. ### Final Conclusion - Assertion (A) is **false**. - Reason (R) is **true**.
