If two distinct chords of a parabola y2 = 4ax passing through (a, 2a) are bisected on the line x + y = 1, then the sum of integral values of the length of possible latus rectums is equal to
If two distinct chords of a parabola y2 = 4ax passing through (a, 2a) are bisected on the line x + y = 1, then the sum of integral values of the length of possible latus rectums is equal to
Any point on x + y = 1 can be taken as (t, 1 – t) The equation of chord with this as mid-point is y (1 – t) -2a (x + t) = (1 – t)2 – 4at
It passes through (a, 2a)
So, t2 – 2t + 2a2 – 2a + 1 = 0
This should have two distinct real roots.
So D > 0
So, length of latus rectum < 4 and 0 < a < 1
