The eccentricity of the ellipse, which meets the straight line on the axis of x and the staraight line on the axis of y and whose axes lie along the axes of coordinate, is
None of the above
If and x2 - y2 = c2 cut at right angles, then
a2 + b2 = 2c2
b2 - a2 = 2c2
a2 - b2 = 2c2
a2b2 = 2c2
The equation of the conic with focus at (1, - 1) directrix along x - y + 1 = 0 and with eccentricity , is
x2 - y2 = 1
xy = 1
2xy - 4x + 4y + 1 = 0
2xy + 4x - 4y - 1 = 0
The locus of the mid-points of the focal chord of the parabola y2 = 4ax is
y2 = a(x - a)
y2 = 2a(x - a)
y2 = 4a(x - a)
None of these
A rod of length l slides with its ends on two perpendicular lines. Then, the locus of its mid point is
None of these
The line joining (5, 0) to () is divided internally in the ratio 2 : 3 at P. If 0 varies, then the locus of P is

The equation of any normal to the parabola
y2 = - 8x is y = mx + 4m + 2m3 ... (i)
[ using equation of normal of parabola in slope form y = mx - 2am - am3 and a = - 2]
But, the given normal is
2x + y + k = 0
y = - 2x - k ...(ii)
Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
m = - 2
and - 4m - 2m3 = k
k = 8 + 16 = 24
