Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (3,1)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ x^{2}-6 x+4 y+1=0 \] \(\Rightarrow \quad(x-3)^{2}-9+4 y+1=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad(x-3)^{2}+4 y-8=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad(x-3)^{2}=-4(y-2)\) It represents parabola whose vertex is (3,2) \(\therefore\) Focus \(=(3,-1+2)=(3,1)\)
