Correct Answer

(B) Statement \(-1\) is true; Statement \(-2\) is true; Statement  \(-2\) is a correct explanation for statement \(-1.\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Both satements are true and satement-\(2\) is the correct expalnation of satement-\(1\) \(\therefore \) The straight line \(y = mx + \frac{a}{m}\) is always a tangent to the parabola \({y^2} = 4ax\) for any value of \(m\). The co-ordinates of point of contact…
