Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola, \(y^2=l x\) ...(i) Here, length of latusrectum \(=l\) Since, point \(\left(\frac{c^2}{8}, c\right)\) is the point of intersection of parabola and the line \(y=m x+c\) then it will satisfy the equations.…
