Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola is \(y^2=12 x\) Here, \(\quad a=3\) \(\therefore\) Equation of normal is \(\begin{aligned} y & =m x-2 a m-a m^3 \quad(\because m=-1) \\ y & =-x-2(3)(-1)-3(-1)^3 \\ & =-x+6+3\end{aligned}\) But given normal is…
