Dear Student,
Assume P (2at12, at12) and Q (2at22, at22) where a = ¼.
And also assume R (h,k).
Since PO and QO are perpendicular to each other, so by applying this condition, you will get t1t2 = -1.
Now use the property of rectangle, that diagonls bisect each other. solve these two equation and eliminate t1 and t2.You will get the locus of R.

Thanks,
