Solution

The correct option is B (2,1)
Comparing given equation with standard form of parabola, Y2=4aX
X=x+2y4,Y=2xy3=0,a=5
Clearly the line X=0 and Y=0 are perpendicular to each other.
And we know the vertex of the parabola Y2=4aX is (X=0,Y=0)
Thus the vertex of the given parabola will be the solution of set of
equation x+2y4=0 and 2xy3=0
Solving these we get x=2,y=1
Hence the vertex of the parabola is (2,1)
