If a normal chord at a point \(t\) on the parabola \(y^2=4 a x\) subtends a right angle at the vertex, then \(t\) equals to

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{2}\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The perpendicular of the normal to the parabola \(y^2=4 a x\) at \(P\) is Suppose, it meets the parabola at \(Q\). If \(O\) be the vertex of the parabola, then the combined equation of \(O P\) and \(O Q\) is a homogeneous equation of second degree.…
