Option 1 - <p>0</p>
Option 2 - <p>-t<sup>3</sup></p>
Option 3 - <p>-2t<sup>3</sup></p>
Option 4 - <p>2t<sup>3</sup></p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

y = x3

d y d x = 3 x 2 d y d x | ( t , t 3 ) = 3 t 2        

Equation of tangent y – t3 = 3t2 (x – t)  

Let again meet the curve at Q ( t 1 , t 1 3 )  

t 1 3 t 3 = 3 t 2 ( t 1 t )           

  t 1 2 + t t 1 + t 2 = 3 t 2 [ ? t 1 t ]          

t 1 2 + t t 1 2 t 2 = 0            

->t1 = -2t

Required ordinate =    2 t 3 + t 1 3 3 = 2 t 3 8 t 3 3 = 2 t 3

From option let it be isosceles where AB = AC then

x = r 2 ( h r ) 2            

r 2 h 2 r 2 + 2 r h

x = 2 h r h 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )

 Now ar ( Δ A B C ) = Δ = 1 2 B C × A L

Δ = 1 2 × 2 2 h r a 2 × h        

then  x = 2 × 3 r 2 × r 9 r 2 4 = 3 2 r f r o m ( i )

B C = 3 r    

So A B = h 2 + x 2 = 9 r 2 4 + 3 r 2 4 = 3 r .

Hence Δ be equilateral having each side of length 3 r .
