 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+t23 Hence locus is 3k+2=3h22⇒9x2=12y+8
