Question

Let P be the point (1, 0) and Q a point on the locus y2 = 8x. The locus of mid-point of PQ is

Solution

Correct option is

y2 – 4x + 2 = 0

Any point on the parabola is (at2, 2at), a = 2.

Q is (2t2, 4t) and P is (1, 0).

If (h, k) be the mid-point of PQ, then

     2h = 2t2 + 1, 2= 4t      

  

  Locus is y2 – 4x + 2 = 0.
