Vertex and focus of parabola y2=2x are V (0, 0) and S12, 0 resp.
Let equation of circle be

(x-h)2+(y-k)2=4

   Circle passes through (0,0)

h2+k2=4  (1)

 Circle passes through 12, 0

12-h2+k2=4

h2+k2-h=154 (2)

On solving (1) and (2)

4-h=154 h=4-154=14 k=+634

k=-634 is rejected as circle with centre 14,-634 can't touch given parabola. Equation of circle is

x-142+k-6342=4

From figure

α=2+634=8+634 4α-8=63 (4α-8)2=63
