The correct option is A −24
Given parabola, y2=8x
⇒2ydydx=8
⇒dydx=4y
Slope of normal of parabola =−y4 ..... (i)
Given, 2x+y+λ=0 is a equation of normal of the parabola y2=8x.
∴ Slope of normal =−2 ...... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
−y4=−2⇒y=8
∴(8)2=8x⇒x=8
Now, putting the values of x and y in the equation of normal
2(8)+8+λ=0
⇒λ=−24
