Detailed Solution
O(0, 0) is the vertex and Rat2,2at is any pointon the parabola. at2/2,2at/2 is the mid-point ofthe chord OR. Whose locus is y2=2ax coordinatesof P on this locus are (2a, 2a), focus is S(a, 0). Equation of SP is y=2(x−a) which meetsy2=4ax at the point Q for which 4(x−a)2=4ax⇒x2−3ax+a2=0 which is not satisfied by thepoints in (a), (b) or (c).
