Let P be a point on the parabola, y² = 12x and N be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from P on the axis of the parabola. A line is now drawn through the mid-point M of PN, parallel to its axis which meets the parabola at Q. If the y-intercept of the line NQ is 4/3, then:

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:Let P = (3t², 6t); N = (3t²,0)
M = (3t², 3t)
Equation of MQ: y = 3t
∴ Q = (3/4 t², 3t)
Equation of NQ
y = ( 3t / (3/4 t² - 3t²) ) (x - 3t²)
y - intercept of NQ = 4t = 4/3 ⇒ t = 1/3
∴ MQ = 9/4 t² = 1/4
PN = 6t = 2
