The correct option is B 2x−y+1=0
Given equation of parabola is
y=x2−2x+5....(i)
By putting x1=1,x2=3 in Eq (i) we get
y1=4;y2=8
∴ Points on the parabola are (1,4) and (3,8)
Equation of the chord of given parabola by joining the points (1,4) and (3,8) will be
y−4=8−43−1(x−1)
y−4=2x−2
⇒ 2x−y+2=0
Now, equation of tangent parallel to chord will be
2x−y+k=0...(ii)
In given options, only option (b) satisfies the condition from Eq(iii)
i.e., 2x−y+1=0....(iii)
