Solution

The correct option is D 2
Given equations are x2+y2=25 and y2=4x
By substituting y2=4x in x2+y2=25, we get x2+4x25=0
We get x=(4±116)2=2±29
Since y2 is always positive 4x should be also positive , which implies x229
Therefore x=2+29 and for one value of x , we get two values of y.
So, the number of points at which two equations intersect is 2.
