Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Y = Px2 + q

Y = 2x2 - 1

Px2 + q = 2x2 - 1

Px2 = 2x2 - 1 - q

p = \(\frac{2x^2 - 1 - q}{x^2}\)

at x = 2

P = \(\frac{2(2)^2 - 1 - q}{2^2}\)

= \(\frac{2(4) - 1 -q}{4}\)

= \(\frac{8 - 1 - q}{4}\)

P = \(\frac{7 - q}{4}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
