Let \(A,B\) and \(C\) be the vertices of a variable right angled triangle inscribed in the parabola \(y^2=16x\). Let the vertex \(B\) containing the right angle be \((4,8)\) and the locus of the centroid of \(\triangle ABC\) be a conic \(C_o\). Then three times the length of latus rectum of \(C_o\) is ______

  1. A 13
  2. B 14
  3. C 15
  4. D 16
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 16

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the parabola is \(y^2 = 16x\), which gives \(a = 4\). Any point on the parabola can be taken as \((4t^2, 8t)\). The vertex \(B\) is given as \((4,8)\), which corresponds to the parameter \(t = 1\). Let the parameters for vertices \(A\) and \(C\) be \(t_1\) and…
