Detailed Solution

Let Px1,y1 be any point on the parabola y2=4ax

The equation of any tangent and any normal at Px1,y1

are

Question Image

yy1=2ax+x1 and yy1y1=xx12a

Since the tangent and the normal meet its axis at T and

G, respectively, so the co-ordinates of T and G are (-x1,0)

and x1+2a,0, respectively. 

Thus, SP=PM=x1+a

SG=AGAS=x1+2aa=x1+a

and ST=AS+AT=a+x1

Hence, SP=SG=ST.
