The correct answer is:
GP
Since, tangent at and on the parabola meet in
Taking parametric co-ordinates of the point of tangency, let the coordinates of and are and respectively, then coordinates of are
Now being the focus of the standard parabola i.e. co-ordinates of being .
By distance formula,
Similarly,
and
Thus, are in GP
