The perpendicular from the origin to the tangent at any point on a curve is equal to the abscissa of the point contact. Also curve passes through the point (1, 1). Then the length of intercept of the curve on the 
-axis is

from (0,0)
(1) (Homogeneous)
Put 
in (1)
Passes through (1,1), then 
For intercept of curve on x-axis, put 
We have 
or 
Hence length of intercept is 2
