If (0, 3) and (0, 2) are respectively the vertex and focus of a parabola, then its equation, isA. `x^(2)+8y=12`B. `y^(2)+8x=32`C. `x^(2)-8y=32`D. `y^(2)-8x=32`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Clearly, vertex (0, 4) and focus (0, 2) lie on y-axis So, axis of the parabola is along y-axis and it opens downward. The distance between vertex and focus is 2 units.
`:." Latusrectum = 4 "xx"2 = 8"`
Hence, equation of the parabola is
`(x-0)^(2)=-8(y-4)" or , "x^(2)+8y=32`
