Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the family of parabolas with focus at the origin and \(X\)-axis as its axis is given by \[ \begin{array}{rlrl} y^2 & =4 a(x+a)=4 a x+4 a^2 \\ \therefore & & 2 y \frac{d y}{d x} & =4 a \\ \Rightarrow & & a & =\frac{1}{2} y \frac{d y}{d x} \end{array} \]…
