Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5 y^2+2 x-21 y+20=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let, general equation of this parabola \[ x=A y^2+B y+C \] It is given that, it passes through the points \((-2,1),(1,2)\) and \((-1,3)\) so, we get On solving Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get \[ A=\frac{-5}{2}, B=\frac{21}{2} \text { and } C=-10 \] Hence, equation of parabola…
