Correct Answer - C
(3) Any point on the given parabola is `(t^(2),2t)`
The equation of the tangents at (1,2) is x-y+1=0.
The image (h,k) of the point `(t^(2),2t)` on x-y+1=0 is given by
`(h-t^(2))/(1)=(k-2t)/(-1)=-(2(t^(2)-2t+1))/(1+1)`
`:." "h=t^(2)+t^(2)+2t-1=2t-1`
`andk=2t+t^(2)-2t+1=t^(2)+1`
Eliminating t from `h=2t-1andk=t^(2)+1`, we get
`(h+1)^(2)=4(k-1)`
The required equation of reflection is `(x+1)^(2)=4(y-1)`.
