Detailed Solution

 

Let one end of the focal chord be  ( at2,2a t )  , then the length of the that chord is c = a ( t + 1t )2 ( 1 )   Now equation of the focal chord will be y  0 = ( 2at-0at2-a ) ( x  a ) y=2tt2-1(x-a)   As we know that vertex coordinates of the parabola is  ( 0 , 0 )   Hence perpendicular distance from will be  b = -2att2-11+4t2(t2-1)2= | 2 a t |t2+1  ( 2 )   from  ( 1 ) × ( 2 )2   ,  t  will get eliminated and we get  b2 c= 4a3
