    The focus of the parabola\[{{y}^{2}}-x-2y+2=0\]is:

    A)  (1/4, 0)                               

    B)  (1, 2)    

    C)         (5/4, 1)               

    D)         (3/4, 5/2)

    E)  (1, 5/4)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The equation of parabola is \[{{y}^{2}}-x-2y+2=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{(y-1)}^{2}}=x-1\] Let\[y-1=y\]and \[x-1=X\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{Y}^{2}}=X\] Here, \[a=\frac{1}{4}\] \[\therefore \]Focus of\[{{Y}^{2}}=X\]is \[\left( \frac{1}{4},0 \right)\] \[\therefore \] \[x-1=\frac{1}{4}\]and \[y-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{5}{4}\]and\[y=1\] \[\therefore \]Focus of given parabola \[=\left( \frac{5}{4},1 \right)\]
