If the line $2 b x+3 c y+4 d=0$ passes through the points of intersection of $y^2=4 a x$ and $x^2=4 a y$, then

If the line $2 b x+3 c y+4 d=0$ passes through the points of intersection of $y^2=4 a x$ and $x^2=4 a y$, then
  1. $d^2+(2 b+3 c)^2=0$
  2. $d^2+(3 b+2 c)^2=0$
  3. $d^2+(2 b-3 c)^2=0$
  4. $d^2+(3 b-2 c)^2=0$

Solution

Given parabola, we have $ x^2=4 a y \text { and } y^2=4 a x $ Intersection point of these two parabolas are $(0,0)$ and $(4 a, 4 a)$. Given that, $2 b x+3 c y+4 d=0$ passes through point of intersection. Case I If it passes through $(0,0)$, we obtain $ \begin{aligned} 2 b(0)+3 c(0)+4 d & =0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad d & =0 \end{aligned} $ Case II If it passes through $(4 a, 4 a)$, we obtain $ \begin{aligned} 2 b(4 a)+3 c(4 a)+4(0) & =0 \Rightarrow(2 b+3 c)(4 a)=0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad 2 b+3 c & =0 \end{aligned} $ From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $ d^2+(2 b+3 c)^2=0 $
