Correct answer: A

  1. Solve the differential equation

Given dydx+x+ay−2=0\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{x+a}{y-2}=0dxdy​+y−2x+a​=0 so dydx=−x+ay−2.\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x+a}{y-2}.dxdy​=−y−2x+a​.

Rearrange: (y−2) dy=−(x+a) dx.(y-2)\,dy=-(x+a)\,dx.(y−2)dy=−(x+a)dx.

Integrating, ∫(y−2) dy=−∫(x+a) dx\int (y-2)\,dy = -\int (x+a)\,dx∫(y−2)dy=−∫(x+a)dx y22−2y=−x22−ax+C.\frac{y^2}{2}-2y=-\frac{x^2}{2}-ax+C.2y2​−2y=−2x2​−ax+C.

Multiply by 222: y2−4y=−x2−2ax+C1.y^2-4y = -x^2-2ax+C_1.y2−4y=−x2−2ax+C1​.

Hence x2+y2+2ax−4y=C2.x^2+y^2+2ax-4y=C_2.x2+y2+2ax−4y=C2​.

Use the condition y(1)=0y(1)=0y(1)=0: 1+0+2a(1)−0=C2  ⟹  C2=1+2a.1+0+2a(1)-0=C_2 \implies C_2=1+2a.1+0+2a(1)−0=C2​⟹C2​=1+2a.

Therefore the curve is x2+y2+2ax−4y=1+2a.x^2+y^2+2ax-4y=1+2a.x2+y2+2ax−4y=1+2a.

Complete squares: (x+a)2+(y−2)2=a2+5+2a=(a+1)2+4.(x+a)^2+(y-2)^2 = a^2+5+2a=(a+1)^2+4.(x+a)2+(y−2)2=a2+5+2a=(a+1)2+4.

So CCC is a circle with center (−a,2)(-a,2)(−a,2) and radius r=(a+1)2+4.r=\sqrt{(a+1)^2+4}.r=(a+1)2+4​.


  1. Use the given area

Area enclosed is 4π4\pi4π, so πr2=4π  ⟹  r2=4  ⟹  r=2.\pi r^2=4\pi \implies r^2=4 \implies r=2.πr2=4π⟹r2=4⟹r=2.

Thus (a+1)2+4=4  ⟹  (a+1)2=0  ⟹  a=−1.(a+1)^2+4=4 \implies (a+1)^2=0 \implies a=-1.(a+1)2+4=4⟹(a+1)2=0⟹a=−1.

Hence the circle is (x−1)2+(y−2)2=4.(x-1)^2+(y-2)^2=4.(x−1)2+(y−2)2=4.


  1. Find points of intersection with the yyy-axis

On the yyy-axis, x=0x=0x=0. Then (0−1)2+(y−2)2=4(0-1)^2+(y-2)^2=4(0−1)2+(y−2)2=4 1+(y−2)2=41+(y-2)^2=41+(y−2)2=4 (y−2)2=3(y-2)^2=3(y−2)2=3 y=2±3.y=2\pm \sqrt{3}.y=2±3​.

So the points are P=(0,2+3),Q=(0,2−3).P=(0,2+\sqrt{3}), \qquad Q=(0,2-\sqrt{3}).P=(0,2+3​),Q=(0,2−3​).


  1. Find slope of tangent and normal

From the differential equation, with a=−1a=-1a=−1, dydx=−x−1y−2.\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x-1}{y-2}.dxdy​=−y−2x−1​.

At P=(0,2+3)P=(0,2+\sqrt{3})P=(0,2+3​)

mt=−0−13=13.m_t=-\frac{0-1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.mt​=−3​0−1​=3​1​. So slope of normal is mn=−3.m_n=-\sqrt{3}.mn​=−3​.

Equation of normal at PPP: y−(2+3)=−3(x−0).y-(2+\sqrt{3})=-\sqrt{3}(x-0).y−(2+3​)=−3​(x−0). To find its intersection RRR with the xxx-axis, put y=0y=0y=0: −(2+3)=−3x-(2+\sqrt{3})=-\sqrt{3}x−(2+3​)=−3​x xR=2+33=1+23.x_R=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}.xR​=3​2+3​​=1+3​2​.

At Q=(0,2−3)Q=(0,2-\sqrt{3})Q=(0,2−3​)

mt=−0−1−3=−13.m_t=-\frac{0-1}{-\sqrt{3}}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.mt​=−−3​0−1​=−3​1​. So slope of normal is mn=3.m_n=\sqrt{3}.mn​=3​.

Equation of normal at QQQ: y−(2−3)=3(x−0).y-(2-\sqrt{3})=\sqrt{3}(x-0).y−(2−3​)=3​(x−0). Set y=0y=0y=0 for intersection SSS with xxx-axis: −(2−3)=3x-(2-\sqrt{3})=\sqrt{3}x−(2−3​)=3​x xS=3−23=1−23.x_S=\frac{\sqrt{3}-2}{\sqrt{3}}=1-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}.xS​=3​3​−2​=1−3​2​.


  1. Compute length RSRSRS

Both RRR and SSS lie on the xxx-axis, so RS=∣xR−xS∣.RS=|x_R-x_S|.RS=∣xR​−xS​∣.

Thus RS=(1+23)−(1−23)=43=433.RS=\left(1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)-\left(1-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}.RS=(1+3​2​)−(1−3​2​)=3​4​=343​​.


  1. Match with options

RS=433.RS=\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}.RS=343​​. So the correct option is A.
