Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D
2,4 The given parabola is
`x^(2)-ky+3=0`
`orx^(2)=k(y-(3)/(k))`
Let `x=Y,y-(3)/(k)=X`
Then the parabola is
`Y^(2)=kX`
whose focus is (0,k/4).
Therefore, the focus of
`x^(2)=k(y-(3)/(k))` is
`(0,(3)/(k)+(k)/(4))-=(0,2)`
`:.(3)/(k)+(k)/(4)=2`
`or12+k^(2)=8k`
`ork^(2)-8k+12=0`
`or(k-6)(k-2)=0`
`ork=2,6`
