Solution
The correct option is Ax2=2μy The equation of the normal to y2=4ax isy=mx−2am−am3 ..........(1) ∵ it passes through (h,k) then am3+m(2a−h)+k=0 ...........(2) ∵ Roots of eqn(2) be m1,m2,m3 then m1+m2+m3=0 ............(3) m1m2+m2m3+m3m1=(2a−h)a .............(4) and m1m2m3=−ka .....(5) The equation of the line AB is y−(−2am1)=(−2am2)−(−2am1)am22−am21(x−am21) ⇒y+(−2am1)=−2m1+m2(x−am21) ⇒y(m1+m2)+2am1(m1+m2)=−2x+2am21 ⇒y(m1+m2)+2am1m2=−2x
From eqns(3) and (5) replacing k by μ (because y=μ=k) ⇒y(−m3)+2a(−μam3)=−2x ⇒ym23−2m3x+2μ=0 which is a quadratic in m3 Since, AB will touch it then B2−4AC=0 ⇒(−2x)2−4y.2μ=0 or x2=2μy
