Q55.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: (1) 9x2 −12y = 8 (2) 9x2 −3y = 2 (3) x2 −3y = 2 (4) 4x2 −3y = 2

What This Question Tests

This question involves finding the locus of a point by using the section formula to relate the coordinates of the moving point to a point on a parabola, then eliminating the parameter.
