The length of the latus - rectum of the parabola 4y2 + 2x – 20y + 17 = 0 is

Given equation of the parabola is 4y2 + 2x - 20y + 17 = 0



4y2 - 20y + 17 = - 2x





Comparing with standard form of parabola (y - a)2 = - 4b(x - c) we get,



We know that the that the length of the latus rectum is 4b.


The correct option is C
