The locus of the mid-points of the focal radii of the parabola

y^2=4 a x

is a parabola whose focus is at

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

(a, 0)

The correct answer is B (2) because the ratio of the areas of the two triangles is 2:1, as the area of the triangle formed by the end points of the latus rectum and a point P is twice the area of the triangle formed by the tangents at those points.
