If the line `x-1=0`is the directrix of the parabola `y^2-k x+8=0`, then one of the values of `k`is`1/8`(b) 8 (c) 4(d) `1/4`A. -8B. `1//8`C. `1//4`D. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
1,4
We have equation of parabola,
`y^(2)=kx-8ory^(2)=k(x-(8)/(k))`
Equation of directrix is
`x-(8)/(k)=-(k)/(4)orx=-(k)/(4)+(8)/(k)`
Given equation of directrix is x=1.
`:.(8)/(k)-(k)/(4)=1`
`rArrk^(2)+4k-32=0`

`rArr(k-4)(k+8)=0`
`rArrk=-8,4`
