Let P be a point on the parabola, $y ^ { 2 } = 12 x$ and N be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $P$, on the axis of the parabola. A line is now drawn through the mid-point $M$ of $P N$, parallel to its axis which meets the parabola at $Q$. If the $y$-intercept of the line NQ is $\frac { 4 } { 3 }$, then:
(1) $P N = 4$
(2) $M Q = \frac { 1 } { 3 }$
(3) $M Q = \frac { 1 } { 4 }$
(4) $P N = 3$
