Equation of parabola

 y^{2}=16x

focus =\left ( a,0 \right )=\left ( 4,0 \right )

Slope =\frac{4-0}{1-4}=-\frac{4}{3}=tan \theta

Length of focal chord = 4\; a\; cosec^{2}\theta

                                    =4\times 4\times \frac{25}{16}=25


Option 1)

25

Option 2)

22

Option 3)

24

Option 4)

 20
