  1. A \(y \pm 2 x=0\)
  2. B \(2 y \pm x=0\)
  3. C \(x \pm y=0\)
  4. D \(2 x \pm 3 y=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 y \pm x=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, equation of parabola is \(y^{2}=6 x\) Substitute \(x=24\) \(y^{2}=6 \times 24\) \[ y=\pm \sqrt{6 \times 24}=\pm \sqrt{6 \times 6 \times 4}=\pm(6 \times 2)=\pm 12 \] \(\therefore\) Point on the parabola is \((24,12),(24,-12)\) vertex of given parabola is \((0,0)\).…
