Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16 a \sqrt{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the equation of the parabola \(y^2=4 a x\) and focus of this parabola is \(\left(\frac{1}{4}, k\right)\). \(\Rightarrow(a, 0)=\left(\frac{1}{4}, k\right) \Rightarrow k=0, a=\frac{1}{4}\) Since, \(x-2 y-3=0 \Rightarrow x=2 y+3\) Now,…
