 The length of latus rectum of the parabola, whose focus is \mathrm{(2 \cos 2 \theta, a \cos 2 \theta)} and directrix is the line \mathrm{y=a}, is

Option: 1

\mathrm{\left|4 a \cos ^{2} \theta\right|}


Option: 2

\mathrm{\left|4 a \sin ^{2} \theta\right|}


Option: 3

\mathrm{|4 a \cos 2 \theta|}


Option: 4

\mathrm{|a \cos 2 \theta|}

Distance of focus from directrix is

\mathrm{|a \cos 2 \theta-a|}
Thus length of latus rectum is \mathrm{\left|4 a \sin ^{2} \theta\right|}.
