A normal is drawn at the point PP to the parabola y2=8xy^2=8 x, which is inclined at 60∘60^{{}^{\circ}} with the straight line y=8y=8. Then the point PP lies on the straight line

Options

  1. A2x+y−12−43=02 x+y-12-4 \sqrt{3}=0
  2. B2x−y−12+43=02 x-y-12+4 \sqrt{3}=0
  3. C2x−y−12−43=02 x-y-12-4 \sqrt{3}=0
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

C. 2x−y−12−43=02 x-y-12-4 \sqrt{3}=0

Step-by-step solution

For the parabola y2=4axy^2=4 a x, the equation of normal at PP\left(a m²,-2 a m\right)isisy=m x-2 a m-a m³.Here,. Here,m=\tan 60^{{}^{\circ}}=\sqrt{3}\thereforeP \equiv\lleft(a(\sqrt{3})^2,-2 a(3))≡(6,−43)(\becausea=a(\sqrt{3})) \equiv(6,-4 \sqrt{3}) \quad(\becausea=2)Thus,Thus,Psatisfiessatisfies2 x-y-12-4 3=\sqrt{3}=0
