Question

If P Q be a double ordinate of the parabola, y 2 = - 4 x , where P lies in the second quadrant. If R divides P Q in the ratio 2 : 1 , then the locus of R is:, 3 y 2 = - 2 x, 9 y 2 = 4 x, 9 y 2 = - 4 x, 3 y 2 = 2 x

Let P - t 2 , 2 t & Q - t 2 , - 2 t R divides in the ratio 2 : 1 - 2 t 2 - t 2 2 + 1 , - 4 t + 2 t 2 + 1 - t 2 , 2 3 t x = - t 2 y = - 2 3 t ∴ 9 y 2 = 4 t 2 ⇒ 9 y 2 = - 4 x
