If \(P\) is a point which divides the line segment joining the focus of the parabola \(y^2=12 x\) and a point on the parabola in the ratio 1:2. Then the locus of \(P\) is

  1. A \(y^2=2(x-2)\)
  2. B \(y^2=4 x\)
  3. C \(y^2=4(x-2)\)
  4. D \(y^2=9(x-3)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(y^2=4(x-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Parabola : \(y^2=12 x \Rightarrow \quad\) Focus \(=(3,0)\) Let \(Q\left(3 t^2, 6 t\right)\) be a point on the parabola.…
