If the perpendicular distance from the focus of a parabola \(\mathrm{y}^2=4 \mathrm{ax}\) to its directrix is \(\frac{3}{2}\), then the equation of the normal drawn at \((4 a,-4 a)\) is

  1. A \(2 x+y=3\)
  2. B \(2 x-y=9\)
  3. C \(x-2 y=9\)
  4. D \(x+2 y+3=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 x-y=9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(2a = \frac{3}{2} \implies a = \frac{3}{4}\) From \((at^2, 2at) = (4a, -4a)\), we get \(t = -2\). Normal: \(y = -tx + 2at + at^3\) \(y = -(-2)x + 2(\frac{3}{4})(-2) + (\frac{3}{4})(-2)^3\) \(y = 2x - 3 - 6\) \(2x - y = 9\)
