A line bisect...

Question

$A$ line bisecting the ordinate $P N$ of a point $P (a t^{2}, 2 a t), t > 0$ , on the parabola $y^{2} = 4 a x$ is drawn parallel to the axis to meet the curve at $Q$ . lf $N Q$ meets the tangent at the vertex at the point $T$ . then the coordinates of $T$ are

(0, \frac{4}{3} a t)

Solution

The correct option is A $(0, \frac{4}{3} a t)$

$a^{2} t^{2} = 4 a x$
$x = \frac{a t^{2}}{4}$
$(y - 0) = ⎛ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{a t - 0}{\frac{a t^{2}}{4} - a t^{2}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎠ (x - a t^{2})$
put $x = 0$
$y = \frac{a t .4}{3 a t^{2}} \times a t^{2}$

$y = \frac{4 a t}{3}$
