Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola \(\begin{aligned} & y^2-4 y-3 x+7=0 \Rightarrow(y-2)^2=3(x-1) \\ & \Rightarrow(y-2)^2=4 \cdot \frac{3}{4}(x-1) \end{aligned}\) So focus is \(\left(\frac{3}{4}+1,2\right)=\left(\frac{7}{4}, 2\right)\) Now, equation of focal chord is…
