Solution

The correct option is B (t21,2t+1)
Given,

f(0,1),d(x+2=0)

Distance of any point on parabola and focus is equal to distance of point and directrix.

fP=(h0)2+(k1)2=h2+k2+12k

Distance of point (h,k) and line x+2=0

Using point line distance formula.

dP=h+2

h2+k2+12k=h+2

h2+k2+12k=h2+4+4h

k22k+144h=0

replacing hx,ky

y22y+144x=0

(y1)2=4(x+1) (1)

Let Y=y1,X=x+1 then (1) becomes

Y2=4aX2 Here a=1

any point on this parabola will be of the form (at2,2at)=(t2,2at)

X=t2x+1=t2x=t21

Y2=2ty1=2ty=2t+1

Any point on the parabola (y1)2=4(x+1) is (t21,2t+1)
