Consider the parabola y² = 4x. Let S be the focus of the parabola. A pair of tangents drawn to the parabola from the point P = (-2, 1) meet the parabola at P and P₂. Let Q₁ and Q₂ be points on the lines SP and SP₂ respectively such that PQ₁ is perpendicular to SP and PQ₂ is perpendicular to SP₂. Then, which of the following is/are TRUE? (A) SQ₁ = 2 (C) PQ₁ =3 (B) (D) QQ₂ SQ₂ = 1 = 3√10 5 Consider the parabola y² = 4x. Let S be the focus of the parabola.
