    One of the points on the parabola\[{{y}^{2}}=12x\]with focal distance 12, is

    A)  (3, 6)                                    

    B)  \[(9,6\sqrt{3})\]

    C)  \[(7,2\sqrt{21})\]       

    D)         \[(8,4\sqrt{6})\]

    E)  \[(1,\sqrt{12})\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have \[{{y}^{2}}=12x\]                              ...(i) Comparing Eq. (i) with\[{{y}^{2}}=4ax,\]we get \[4a=12\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[a=3\] \[\therefore \]  Focus\[=(3,\text{ }0)\] Let\[({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\]be point on parabola Eq. (i), hence \[y_{1}^{2}=12{{x}_{1}}\]                                              ...(ii) Now, according to question,                 \[\sqrt{{{({{x}_{1}}-3)}^{2}}+{{({{y}_{1}}-0)}^{2}}}=12\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x_{1}^{2}+9-6{{x}_{1}}+y_{1}^{2}=144\]                            ...(iii) Putting\[y_{1}^{2}=12x,\]from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (iii), we get                 \[x_{1}^{2}-6{{x}_{1}}+9+12{{x}_{1}}=144\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x_{1}^{2}+6{{x}_{1}}-135=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[({{x}_{1}}+15)({{x}_{1}}-9)=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{a}_{1}}=9,-15\] \[{{x}_{1}}=-15\]is not possible. From Eq. (i)                 \[y_{1}^{2}=12{{x}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y_{1}^{2}=12\times 9=108\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{y}_{1}}=6\sqrt{3}\] \[\therefore \]Required point\[=(9,6\sqrt{3})\].
