Let \(P\) be the point \((2,0)\) and \(Q\) be a variable point on \((y-6)^2=2(x-4)\). Then the locus of mid-point of \(P Q\) is

  1. A \(y^2+x+6 y+12=0\)
  2. B \(y^2-x+6 y+12=0\)
  3. C \(y^2+x-6 y+12=0\)
  4. D \(y^2-x-6 y+12=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(y^2-x-6 y+12=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{gathered} \mathrm{P}(2,0) \\ \mathrm{Q}\left(4+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{t}^2, 6+\mathrm{t}\right) \end{gathered} \] Let midpoint of \(\mathrm{PQ}\) be R(h, k)…
