PART – II

1. Let C1 and C2 be, respectively, the parabolas x 2= y – 1 and y2 = x – 1. Let P be any point on C1 and Q
be any point on C2. Let P1 and Q1 be the reflections of P and Q respectively, with respect to the line y
= x. Prove that P1 lies on C2, Q1 lies on C1 and PQ  min{PP1 , QQ1}. Hence or other wise determine
