Let the hyperbola H : pass through the point A parabola is drawn whose focus is same as the focus of H with positive abscissa and the directrix of the parabola passes through the other focus of H. If the length of the latus rectum of the parabola is e times the length of the latus rectum of H, where e is the eccentricity of H, then which of the following points lies on the parabola?

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:Foci : S (ae, 0), S’ (ae, 0)
Focus of parabola is (ae, 0)
Now, semi latus rectum of parabola = |SS’| = 2ae
B2 = 2a2……… (i)
lies on H
From (i) and (ii)
equation of parabola is y2
