If three normals are drawn from the point& (c,0)\left(c, 0\right) to the parabola~y2=4xy^{2} = 4x and two of which are perpendicular, then the value of~cc is equal to

Options

  1. A33
  2. B44
  3. C55
  4. D66

Correct answer

A. 33

Step-by-step solution

Equation of the normal in slope form is y=mx−2m−m3y = mx - 2m - m^{3} which passes through \left(c, 0\right)<br/><br />⇒ 0 = mc - 2m - m^{3}<br/><br />⇒ m^{3} + \left(2 - c\right)m = 0<br/><br />⇒ m = 0~or&m^{2} + \left(2 - c\right) = 0<br/><br />⇒ {m}_{1}{m}_{2} = \dfrac{2 - c}{1} = - 1<br/><br />⇒ c = 3
