Solution

The correct option is A

P - V, Q - U, R - T, S - W


P) Focal distance: As the name suggests it is the distance of a point on parabola from the focus. But since the eccentricity of parabola is one, PSPM=e=1 PS=PM or the distance from focus is equal to distance from directrix.

Q) Double ordinate is a chord of parabola perpendicular to axis or in this case x-axis

R) Latus rectum is a chord of the parabola perpendicular to axis and passing through focus. It is the line x = a in this case

S) Vertex of the parabola is the meeting point of axis and parabola. It is origin in this case.
