The correct answer is: 9,-5

Given parabola y2=16x,

So focus will be 4,0,

Now equation of focal chord passing through 2,2 and focus 4,0 will be y=-22x-4y+x=4 .......1

Now given length of double ordinate is 24,

So 2y=24y=12 putting in parabola equation we get,

122=16xx=9

Now putting the value of x in equation 1 we get y=-5

So the point of intersection is 9,-5
