Let P(at12,2at1)
Equation of tangent at P is t1y=x+at12
On X-axis y = 0 so Q=(at12,0)
Normal at P intersect the parabola at R(at22,2at2)t2=t12t1….(1)
Slope of OP is m1=2t1
Slope of OR is m2=2t2
OPORt1t2=4t2=4t1 (1)4t1=t12t1 2t1=t1t12=2t1=±2 t2=2PQ=2at1t12+1=2a6 P=(2a,22a)     Q=(2a,0)  
Area of ΔPQR=122a22a12a018a42a1=182a2
