As we learnt in 

Parametric coordinates of parabola -

x= at^{2}

y= 2at

- wherein

For the parabola.

y^{2}=4ax

 If t_{1} \ and \ t_{2} are the parameters

t_{2} = -t_{1}-\frac{2}{t_{1}}

 


Option 1)

t_{2}=-t_{1}+\frac{2}{t_{1}}\;

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

\; t_{2}=t_{1}-\frac{2}{t_{1}}\;

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

\; t_{2}=t_{1}+\frac{2}{t_{1}}\;

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

\; t_{2}=-t_{1}-\frac{2}{t_{1}}

This option is correct.
