Question

If $$a \ne 0$$  and the line $$2bx+3cy+4d=0$$    passes through the points of intersection of the parabolas $${y^2} = 4ax$$   and $${x^2} = 4ay,$$   then-

A. $${d^2} + {\left( {3b - 2c} \right)^2} = 0$$
B. $${d^2} + {\left( {3b + 2c} \right)^2} = 0$$
C. $${d^2} + {\left( {2b - 3c} \right)^2} = 0$$
D. $${d^2} + {\left( {2b + 3c} \right)^2} = 0$$  
Answer :   $${d^2} + {\left( {2b + 3c} \right)^2} = 0$$
Solution :
Solving equations of parabolas
$${y^2} = 4ax$$   and $${x^2} = 4ay$$
we get $$\left( {0,\,0} \right)$$  and $$\left( {4a,\,4a} \right)$$
Substituting in the given equation of line
$$2bx + 3cy + 4d = 0,$$
we get $$d=0$$  and $$2b + 3c = 0$$
$$ \Rightarrow {d^2} + {\left( {2b + 3c} \right)^2} = 0$$
