Detailed Solution

slope of  SP=43
slope of tangent at P is  34
P  is vertex of parabola
Axis of parabola is  4x – 3y = 0
Question Image 
AB = length of latus reaction = 4a
a = 5
AB = 20 units
LLR = 4a = 20 units
Question Image 
PM = 2a, then through M only one real normal can be drawn i,o., along axis of parabola
