Question

Let P be the point (1,0) and Q a point on the locus y2=8x. The locus of mid point of PQ is
  1. y24x+2=0
  2. y2+4x+2=0
  3. x2+4y+2=0
  4. x24y+2=0

A
y24x+2=0
B
y2+4x+2=0
C
x24y+2=0
D
x2+4y+2=0
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given, P=(1,0)

Let Q=(h,k) such that k2=8h

(α,β) be the mid points of PQ

α=h+12,β=k+02 [mid-point formula]

2α1=h,2β=k

k2=8h

(2β)2=8(2α1)

β2=4α2

therefore, the locus of the midpoint of PQ is

y24x+2=0
