Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left(0, \frac{-3}{5}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given Parabola, \(\begin{aligned} 5 x^2 & =-12 y \quad \Rightarrow x^2=\frac{-12}{5} y \\ 4 a & =\frac{-12}{5} \Rightarrow a=\frac{-3}{5} \\ \text { Focus }=(0, a) & =\left(0, \frac{-3}{5}\right) \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (d) is correct.
