MCQ
The points on the parabola ${y^2} = 12x$ whose focal distance is $4$, are
  • A
    $(2,\;\sqrt 3 ),\;(2,\; - \sqrt 3 )$
  • $(1,\;2\sqrt 3 ),\;(1, - 2\sqrt 3 )$
  • C
    $(1, \;2)$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(1,\;2\sqrt 3 ),\;(1, - 2\sqrt 3 )$
b
(b) $a = 3$ ==> abscissa is $4 - 3 = 1$ and ${y^2} = 12,\;y = \pm 2\sqrt 3 $.

Hence points are $(1,2\sqrt 3 ),\,(1, - 2\sqrt 3 )$.
