The parabola with directrix $x+2 y-1=0$ and focus $(1,0)$ is

The parabola with directrix $x+2 y-1=0$ and focus $(1,0)$ is
  1. $4 x^2-4 x y+y^2-8 x+4 y+4=0$
  2. $4 x^2+4 x y+y^2-8 x+4 y+4=0$
  3. $4 x^2+5 x y+y^2+8 x-4 y+4=0$
  4. $4 x^2-4 x y+y^2-8 x-4 y+4=0$

Solution

Let $P(x, y)$ be any point on the parabola By definition of Parabola $P M=P S$ $\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x+2 y-1}{\sqrt{1+4}}=\sqrt{(x-1)^2+y^2}$ On squaring both sides, we get $\begin{gathered} x^2+4 y^2+1+4 x y-4 y-2 x \\ =5\left(x^2+1-2 x+y^2\right) \\ \Rightarrow \quad 4 x^2+y^2-8 x+4 y-4 x y+4=0 \end{gathered}$
