(5) the point
  1. (A)(P) → (3), (Q) → (4), (R) → (1), (S) → (2)
  2. (B)(P) → (3), (Q) → (2), (R) → (1), (S) → (5)✓ Correct
  3. (C)(P) → (3), (Q) → (2), (R) → (4), (S) → (5)
  4. (D)(P) → (4), (Q) → (1), (R) → (2), (S) → (3)

Answer: (B)

Solution

(P) Radius = distance from to line is . Circle: . Point satisfies this. P→3.

(Q) Tangent to parabola is . For circle , condition gives . Tangent: . Point satisfies. Q→2.

(R) Ellipse . Latus rectum endpoint in Q1: . Normal: . Point satisfies. R→1.

(S) From and , we get . Hyperbola: . Point satisfies. S→5.

Answer: (B).
