An equilateral triangle is inscribed in the parabola \(y^2=16 a x\) with one of its vertices at the origin. Then, the centroid of that triangle is

  1. A \((8 a, 0)\)
  2. B \((16 a, 0)\)
  3. C \((32 a, 0)\)
  4. D \((48 a, 0)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((32 a, 0)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the length at one side is \(l\), so coordinate of \(A\) is \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3} l}{2}, \frac{l}{2}\right)\) lies on parabola so in \(y^2=16 a x\)…
