Question

The point $$\left( {a,\,2a} \right)$$  is an interior point of region bounded by the parabola $${x^2} = 16y$$   and the double ordinate through focus then :

A. $$a < 4$$
B. $$0 < a < 4$$
C. $$0 < a < 2$$  
D. $$a > 4$$
Answer :   $$0 < a < 2$$
Solution :
Parabola mcq solution image
Parabola $${x^2} = 16y,$$   axis is the $$y$$-axis, focus $$ = \left( {0,\,4} \right)$$
It is clear if point $$P\left( {a,\,2a} \right)$$   lies interior region then ordinate $$ \in \left( {0,\,4} \right) \Rightarrow 0 < 2a < 4 \Rightarrow 0 < a < 2$$
