 Let Px1,y1 and Qx2,y2,y1<0,y2<0 , be the endpoints  of the latus rectum of the ellipse x2+4y2=4. The 

equations of parabolas with latusrectum PQ are 

a
x2+23y=3+3
b
x2−23y=3+3
c
x2+23y=3−3
d
x2−23y=3−3

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The given ellipse isx24+y21=1b2=a21−e2or  e=32      Hence, the endpoints P and Q of the latus rectum are given byP≡3,-12and  Q≡−3,−12The coordinates of the midpoint of PQ areR≡0,−12 Length of latus rectum, PQ=23 Hence, two parabolas are possible whose vertices are S0,32-12 and T0,−32−12The equation of the parabolas arex2=23y+32+12and x2=−23y−32+12or  x2−23y=3+3or  x2+23y=3−3
