  1. A 4
  2. B 3
  3. C 2
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of family of parabolas with focus and the \(x\)-axis as axis is Differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get \[ 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=4 a \Rightarrow a=\frac{y}{2} \frac{d y}{d x} \] Substituting the value of \(a\) in Eq. (i), we get…
