  1. A (7,4)
  2. B (3,4)
  3. C (3,-4)
  4. D (-7,4)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (7,4)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given parametric curves are x=5t2+2, y=10t+4 ⇒x-25=t2,y-410=t Eliminating t, we get x-25=y-4102 ⇒y-42=20x-2 ⇒Y2=10X, where Y=y-4, X=x-2 Coordinates of focus are 5,0 So, x-2=5, y-4=0 ⇒x=7, y=4 Hence, required coordinates are 7,4
