The answer z D
st 1 is wrong
st 2 is correct
[339]
STATEMENT--1
The minimum distance between the parabola y2 = 4x and the circle x2 + y2-54y +704 0 is √522.
STATEMENT--2
Shortest distance between two non intersecting curves occurs along the common normal.
at x=0.................
for the parabola y=0
for the circle y=22,32
ie., distance 'teen the two=22=√484...........
The minimum distance should be less than this................. so √522 is surely out of question
So statement 1 is wrong
Statement 2 is a concept and so, correct...............
Hence, answer D!!!
