Let (x, y) be any point on the parabola y2 = 4x. Let P be the point that divides the line segment from (0,0) to (x, y) in the ratio 2:3. Then locus of P is

a
x2=y
b
5y2=2x
c
5y2=8x
d
5x2=2y

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Let P  be (h, k)then h=2x5, k=2y5 As (x, y) lies on the parabola y2=4x 5k22=45h2⇒ 5k2=8h⇒Locus of  P is 5y2=8x.
