If two parabolas y^ 2 = 4a (x – k) and x^ 2 = 4a (y – k) have only...

If two parabolas y2=4ay^{2} = 4a\left(x – k\right)andandx^{2} = 4a (y–k)\left(y – k\right) have only one common point PP, then the equation of normal to y2=4ay^{2} = 4a\left(x – k\right)atatP is

Options

  1. Ay+x=4ay + x = 4a
  2. By+x=2ay + x = 2a
  3. Cy+x=4y + x = 4
  4. Dy+x=2y + x = 2

Correct answer

A. y+x=4ay + x = 4a

Step-by-step solution

Parabolas y2=4a(x–k)y^{2} = 4a \left(x – k\right) and x2=4a(y–k)x^{2} = 4a\left(y – k\right) touche each other at line y=xy = x
(∵∵ both parabola are inverse of each other)
⇒y=x⇒y = x is a common tangent at PP
⇒⇒ we get point PP by solving y2=4a(x–k)y^{2} = 4a \left(x – k\right) and y = x
⇒pointofcontactpoint of contactPis(2a,2a)<br/>is \left(2a, 2a\right)<br />⇒equationofnormalatequation of normal atP \left(2a, 2a\right)isisx + y = 4a
