Geometry Level 4

A circle is drawn whose centre is the focus of the parabola y 2 = 16 x { y }^{ 2 }=16x . Both the ends of latus rectum of the parabola are points on the circle. At the end of latus rectum in the 4th quadrant, a tangent is drawn to the parabola which intersect the circle at a point B on the x-axis. A triangle is formed having its vertices as the end points of latus rectum and the point B. The area of this triangle is a root of the cubic equation x 3 69 x 2 + 326 x 384 = 0 { x }^{ 3 }-69{ x }^{ 2 }+326x-384=0 . The other two roots of this cubic equation are 'a' and 'b'.

If g ( x ) = x 2 5 x + 4 g(x)={ x }^{ 2 }-5x+4 then g ( x ) + b = 0 g(x)+b=0 also have the roots a and b, then find the which of the following points lie on the curve x y = a / b xy = a/b :

(1,2/3) (1,3/4) (2,3/4) (2,4/3) (1,4/3)
