Solution

The correct option is A x2=2μy
The equation of the normal to y2=4ax isy=mx2amam3 ..........(1)
it passes through (h,k) then am3+m(2ah)+k=0 ...........(2)
Roots of eqn(2) be
m1,m2,m3 then
m1+m2+m3=0 ............(3)
m1m2+m2m3+m3m1=(2ah)a .............(4)
and m1m2m3=ka .....(5)
The equation of the line AB is
y(2am1)=(2am2)(2am1)am22am21(xam21)
y+(2am1)=2m1+m2(xam21)
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
ym232m3x+2μ=0 which is a quadratic in m3
Since, AB will touch it then
B24AC=0
(2x)24y.2μ=0
or x2=2μy
