By appropriately matching the information given in the three columns of the following table.

Columns 1, 2 and 3 contain conics, equations of tangents to the conics and points of contact, respectively.

Correct answer: A

We need to identify:

  1. which conic from Column 1 passes through the point of contact (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) for a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​,
  2. which tangent form from Column 2 matches it,
  3. which point-expression in Column 3 gives (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1).

Then compare with the options.


1. Decode the columns

From the table, the intended entries are:

Column 1

  • (i)(i)(i) x2+y2=ax^2+y^2=ax2+y2=a
  • (ii)(ii)(ii) x2+a2y2=a2x^2+a^2y^2=a^2x2+a2y2=a2
  • (iii)(iii)(iii) y2=4axy^2=4axy2=4ax
  • (iv)(iv)(iv) x2−a2y2=a2x^2-a^2y^2=a^2x2−a2y2=a2

Column 2

  • (i)(i)(i) my=m2x+amy=m^2x+amy=m2x+a
  • (ii)(ii)(ii) y=mx+am2+1y=mx+a\sqrt{m^2+1}y=mx+am2+1​
  • (iii)(iii)(iii) y=mx+a2m2−1y=mx+\sqrt{a^2m^2-1}y=mx+a2m2−1​
  • (iv)(iv)(iv) y=mx+a2m2+1y=mx+\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}y=mx+a2m2+1​

Column 3

Let us label the four point forms as P,Q,R,SP,Q,R,SP,Q,R,S in the same order shown:

  • P:(am2,2am)P:\left(\dfrac{a}{m^2},\dfrac{2a}{m}\right)P:(m2a​,m2a​)
  • Q:(−mam2+1,am2+1)Q:\left(\dfrac{-ma}{\sqrt{m^2+1}},\dfrac{a}{\sqrt{m^2+1}}\right)Q:(m2+1​−ma​,m2+1​a​)
  • R:(−a2ma2m2+1,1a2m2+1)R:\left(\dfrac{-a^2m}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}},\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{a^2m^2+1}}\right)R:(a2m2+1​−a2m​,a2m2+1​1​)
  • S:(−a2ma2m2−1,−1a2m2−1)S:\left(\dfrac{-a^2m}{\sqrt{a^2m^2-1}},\dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{a^2m^2-1}}\right)S:(a2m2−1​−a2m​,a2m2−1​−1​)

From the options, only PPP and QQQ are relevant.


2. Put a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​ and test the point (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) on Column 1 conics

We check each conic.

(i) x2+y2=ax^2+y^2=ax2+y2=a

At (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1): x2+y2=1+1=2x^2+y^2=1+1=2x2+y2=1+1=2 But a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​, so RHS =2=\sqrt2=2​.

Hence, 2≠22\ne\sqrt22=2​ So (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) does not lie on conic (i)(i)(i).


(ii) x2+a2y2=a2x^2+a^2y^2=a^2x2+a2y2=a2

Since a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​, we have a2=2a^2=2a2=2. Thus the conic becomes x2+2y2=2x^2+2y^2=2x2+2y2=2 At (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1): 1+2(1)=3≠21+2(1)=3\ne21+2(1)=3=2 So (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) does not lie on conic (ii)(ii)(ii).


(iii) y2=4axy^2=4axy2=4ax

At (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1): 1=42(−1)1=4\sqrt2(-1)1=42​(−1) which is false. So (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) does not lie on conic (iii)(iii)(iii).


(iv) x2−a2y2=a2x^2-a^2y^2=a^2x2−a2y2=a2

With a2=2a^2=2a2=2: x2−2y2=2x^2-2y^2=2x2−2y2=2 At (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1): 1−2=−1≠21-2=-1\ne21−2=−1=2 So (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) does not lie on conic (iv)(iv)(iv).


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 (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) when a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​.

Test PPP

P=(am2,2am)P=\left(\frac{a}{m^2},\frac{2a}{m}\right)P=(m2a​,m2a​) For a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​, (2m2,22m)=(−1,1)\left(\frac{\sqrt2}{m^2},\frac{2\sqrt2}{m}\right)=(-1,1)(m22​​,m22​​)=(−1,1) But first coordinate 2m2>0\frac{\sqrt2}{m^2}>0m22​​>0, so it can never be −1-1−1.

Hence PPP is impossible.


Test QQQ

Q=(−mam2+1,am2+1)Q=\left(\frac{-ma}{\sqrt{m^2+1}},\frac{a}{\sqrt{m^2+1}}\right)Q=(m2+1​−ma​,m2+1​a​) Set this equal to (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1) with a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​.

From second coordinate: 2m2+1=1\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt{m^2+1}}=1m2+1​2​​=1 m2+1=2m^2+1=2m2+1=2 m2=1m^2=1m2=1 So m=±1m=\pm1m=±1.

Now first coordinate: −m22=−m=−1\frac{-m\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}=-m=-12​−m2​​=−m=−1 Hence m=1m=1m=1 So QQQ indeed gives the point (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1).

Therefore Column 3 must be QQQ.


4. Determine corresponding tangent equation

Now use m=1m=1m=1 in the tangent forms and see which conic-point pair is standard.

Column 2 item (ii)

y=mx+am2+1y=mx+a\sqrt{m^2+1}y=mx+am2+1​ For a=2a=\sqrt2a=2​ and m=1m=1m=1: y=x+2⋅2=x+2y=x+\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt2=x+2y=x+2​⋅2​=x+2 At (−1,1)(-1,1)(−1,1): 1=(−1)+21=(-1)+21=(−1)+2 True. So this line passes through the point of contact.

Also, this is the standard tangent to the circle x2+y2=a2x^2+y^2=a^2x2+y2=a2 with point of contact (−am1+m2,a1+m2),\left(\frac{-am}{\sqrt{1+m^2}},\frac{a}{\sqrt{1+m^2}}\right),(1+m2​−am​,1+m2​a​), which matches QQQ.

Thus Column 1 must be the circle, i.e. entry (I)(I)(I) as intended in the options.


5. Match with options

We have found:

  • Column 1: (I)(I)(I)
  • Column 2: (ii)(ii)(ii)
  • Column 3: QQQ

So the correct combination is: A: (I),(ii),(Q)\boxed{\text{A: }(I),(ii),(Q)}A: (I),(ii),(Q)​


6. Compare with stored answer

Stored correct answer: A

Our derived answer: A

So they agree.
