The correct matching is:

$A$ normal with slope $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$ is drawn from the point $(0, -\alpha)$ to the parabola $x^2 = -4ay$,where $a > 0$. Let $L$ be the line passing through $(0, -\alpha)$ and parallel to the directrix of the parabola. Suppose that $L$ intersects the parabola at two points $A$ and $B$. Let $r$ denote the length of the latus rectum and $s$ denote the square of the length of the line segment $AB$. If $r : s = 1 : 16$,then the value of $24a$ is. . . .

Find the coordinates of the focus,axis of the parabola,the equation of the directrix,and the length of the latus rectum for $y^{2}=12x$.
