Equation of the parabola is $\mathrm{(y-1)^2=4(x-1)}$

Let $\mathrm{P\left(t^2+1,2 t+1\right)}$

$\mathrm{ \frac{d y}{d x} \text { at } P=\frac{1}{t} }$

Equation of the tangent at $\mathrm{ P\: is \: x-y t+\left(t^2+t-1\right)=0 }$ Equation of the directrix is $\mathrm{ x=0 }$

$\mathrm{ \therefore Q\left(0, \frac{t^2+t-1}{t}\right) }$

$\mathrm{ R=(h, k)=\left(\frac{1+t^2-0}{-1}, \frac{2 t^2+t-2 t^2-2 t+2}{-t}\right) }$

$\mathrm{ \therefore h=-\left(1+t^2\right), k=\frac{t-2}{t}}$

Eliminating $\mathrm{ t,(h+1)(k-1)^2+4=0}$

Locus of $\mathrm{ R\: is \: (x+1)(y-1)^2+4=0.}$

Hence option 2 is correct.
