Question

Let ' O be the origin and A be a point on the curve y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 4 x then locus of the midpoint of OA is

  1. x to the power of 2 end exponent equals 4 y    
  2. x to the power of 2 end exponent equals 2 y    
  3. y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 16 x    
  4. y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 2 x    

hintHint:

Use Midpoint formula :
left parenthesis x subscript m space comma space y subscript m right parenthesis space equals space open parentheses fraction numerator x subscript 1 space plus x subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction comma space fraction numerator y subscript 1 space plus space y subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses

w h e r e space comma left parenthesis space x subscript m space comma space y subscript m right parenthesis space equals space c o o r d i n a t e s space o f space t h e space m i d p o i n t
left parenthesis space x subscript 1 space comma space y subscript 1 right parenthesis space equals space c o o r d i n a t e s space o f space t h e space f i r s t space p o i n t
left parenthesis space x subscript 1 space comma space y subscript 1 right parenthesis space equals space c o o r d i n a t e s space o f space t h e space s e c o n d space p o i n t

The correct answer is: y to the power of 2 end exponent equals 2 x

    In how many ways can 6 prizes be distributed equally among 3 persons?

    In combinatorics, the rule of sum or addition principle states that it is the idea that if the complete A ways of doing something and B ways of doing something and B ways of doing something, we cannot do at the same time, then there are (A + B) ways of choosing one of the actions. In this question, there is a possibility that the student might miss considering all the cases. They may forget to consider case 2 and get a different answer.

    The number of ways in which mn students can be distributed equally among m sections is-

    While solving this question, the possible mistake one can make is by always choosing n students for all sections from mn students which is totally wrong because at a time one student can only be in 1 section. So, if n students are selected for 1 section then in the second section, we will choose from (mn – n).

    In how many ways can six different rings be wear in four fingers?

    It is important to note that we have used a basic fundamental principle of counting to find the total ways. Also, it is important to notice that each ring has 4 ways as it has not been given that each finger must have at least one ring. So, there can be 6 rings in a finger alone and remaining all the fingers empty.
