  1. A \(\frac{213}{\sqrt{17}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{219}{\sqrt{17}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{211}{\sqrt{17}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{210}{\sqrt{17}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{219}{\sqrt{17}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of parabola is \[ y^{2}=12 x \] On differentiating both sides w.r.t. \(x,\) we get \[ 2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=12 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{6}{y} \] Since, the normal to the curve is parallel to the line \(y=4 x+3\) \(\therefore\) Slope of normal curve \(=\)…
