Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \(y^2=8 x \quad\left(y^2=4 a x\right)\) Focus is \((a, 0) \equiv(2,0)\) distance of \((6,4 \sqrt{3})\) from \((2,0)=\) \(\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(4 \sqrt{3})^2}=\sqrt{16+48}\) \(\begin{aligned} & =\sqrt{64} \\ & =8\end{aligned}\)
