Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(30\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the parabola, \(y^2=8 x \Rightarrow a=2\) Now, given a point on \(y^2=8 x\) is \((2,-4)\) \(\Rightarrow(2,-4)=\left(a t^2, 2 a t\right) \Rightarrow(2,-4)=\left(2 t^2, 4 t\right) \Rightarrow t=-1\) Since, normal drawn at \((2,-4)\) again meet at \((\alpha, \beta)\) So,…
