Questions  

The locus of a point which divides the line segment joining the point 0,-1 and a point on the parabola x2=4y internally in the ratio 1:2 is:

a
4x2−3y=2
b
x2−3y=2
c
9x2−3y=2
d
9x2−12y=8

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let P(0, -1) , Q2t,t2  and R (h, k)           Given that R divides PQ in 1:2,∴h=2t3,k=−2+t23Hence locus is 3k+2=3h22⇒9x2=12y+8
