JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2019 - 12th January Morning Slot - No. 9)

Let P(4, –4) and Q(9, 6) be two points on the parabola, y2 = 4x and let x be any point on the arc POQ of this parabola, where O is the vertex of this parabola, such that the area of $$\Delta $$PXQ is maximum. Then this maximum area (in sq. units) is :
$${{625} \over 4}$$
$${{125} \over 4}$$
$${{75} \over 2}$$
$${{125} \over 2}$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 12th January Morning Slot Mathematics - Parabola Question 103 English Explanation
y2 = 4x

2yy' = 4

y ' = $${1 \over t} = 2,$$   $$t = {1 \over 2}$$

Area = $${1 \over 2}\left| {\matrix{ {{1 \over 4}} & 1 & 1 \cr 9 & 6 & 1 \cr 4 & { - 4} & 1 \cr } } \right| = {{225} \over 4}$$
