    The points \[(at_{1}^{2},2a{{t}_{1}}),(at_{2}^{2},2a{{t}_{2}})\]and \[(a,0)\]will be collinear, if

    A)            \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=1\]             

    B)            \[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=-1\]

    C)            \[{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}=1\]           

    D)            \[{{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}=-1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\frac{a-at_{2}^{2}}{at_{2}^{2}-at_{1}^{2}}=\frac{-2a{{t}_{2}}}{2a{{t}_{2}}-2a{{t}_{1}}}\]                        Þ \[(1-t_{2}^{2})=-{{t}_{2}}({{t}_{2}}+{{t}_{1}})\]or\[{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}=-1\].
