JEE Main 2022 · 24 Jun · Shift 1, Mathematics question 28

If two tangents drawn from a point (α,β)(\alpha,\beta) lying on the ellipse 25x2+4y2=125x^2+4y^2=1 to the parabola y2=4xy^2=4x are such that the slope of one tangent is four times the other, then the value of (10α+5)2+(16β2+50)2(10\alpha+5)^2+(16\beta^2+50)^2 equals ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 2929

Tangents to y2=4xy^2=4x: y=mx+1my=mx+\frac1m. Through (α,β)(\alpha,\beta): αm2−βm+1=0\alpha m^2-\beta m+1=0.

Slopes mm and 4m4m. 5m=βα5m=\frac\beta\alpha and 4m2=1α4m^2=\frac1\alpha, so 4β2=25α4\beta^2=25\alpha.

On the ellipse. 25α2+4β2=125\alpha^2+4\beta^2=1 gives 25α2+25α=125\alpha^2+25\alpha=1, so 100α2+100α=4100\alpha^2+100\alpha=4.

Evaluate. (10α+5)2=100α2+100α+25=29(10\alpha+5)^2=100\alpha^2+100\alpha+25=29. And 16β2+50=100α+50=10(10α+5)16\beta^2+50=100\alpha+50=10(10\alpha+5), so (16β2+50)2=100⋅29=2900(16\beta^2+50)^2=100\cdot29=2900.

Sum 29+2900=292929+2900=2929.
