Solution

The correct option is A

2x + y = 24


It is useful to remember the fact that If normals at t1&t2 meet on the parabola then

t1t2=2.

Here t1=2, and a=2&t1t2=2

t2=1

We also know equation of normal for y2=4ax at (at2,2at) is y=tx+at3+2at.

y = - 2x + 16 + 8

2x + y = 24. is equation of the Normal.
