Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(32 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola, \(y^2=16 x\) and all the vertices are of an equilateral triangle with one of them coincides with the vertex of parabola Since, given parabola is symmetrical about \(X\)-axis So, \(\angle A O M=30^{\circ}\) In…
