Correct answer: A
We need to identify:
- which conic from Column 1 passes through the point of contact for ,
- which tangent form from Column 2 matches it,
- which point-expression in Column 3 gives .
Then compare with the options.
1. Decode the columns
From the table, the intended entries are:
Column 1
Column 2
Column 3
Let us label the four point forms as in the same order shown:
From the options, only and are relevant.
2. Put and test the point on Column 1 conics
We check each conic.
(i)
At : But , so RHS .
Hence, So does not lie on conic .
(ii)
Since , we have . Thus the conic becomes At : So does not lie on conic .
(iii)
At : which is false. So does not lie on conic .
(iv)
With : At : So does not lie on conic .
This suggests the OCR of Column 1 is distorted. So we must identify the correct intended match using the tangent-point formulas.
3. Use Column 3 point-of-contact formulas
We test which point form can produce when .
Test
For , But first coordinate , so it can never be .
Hence is impossible.
Test
Set this equal to with .
From second coordinate: So .
Now first coordinate: Hence So indeed gives the point .
Therefore Column 3 must be .
4. Determine corresponding tangent equation
Now use in the tangent forms and see which conic-point pair is standard.
Column 2 item (ii)
For and : At : True. So this line passes through the point of contact.
Also, this is the standard tangent to the circle with point of contact which matches .
Thus Column 1 must be the circle, i.e. entry as intended in the options.
5. Match with options
We have found:
- Column 1:
- Column 2:
- Column 3:
So the correct combination is:
6. Compare with stored answer
Stored correct answer: A
Our derived answer: A
So they agree.
