Detailed Solution

Let the three feet of the normals be (am12, -2am1), (am22, -2am2), (am32, -2am3)
And since all the three normals pass-through (h, k.) Equation of normal at (am2 ,-2am) 
Y = mx - 2am –am3 it passing through (h, k) then am3 + m(2a-h) + k = 0….(A) 
m1+m2+m3=0m1m2+m2m3+m3m1=2aha;m1m2m3=ka
Centroid of triangle PQR is am123,-2am13
=am12-2m1m23,0=23(h-2a),0
Now equation of he line through P and perpendicular to QR and equation of the line through Q and perpendicular to RP are y+2am1=m2+m32x-am12
y+2am2=m3+m12xam22
Subtracting (a) & (2) we get 
2am1m2=x2m2m1a2m12m2+m12m3m22m3m22m12am1m2=x2m2m1a2m1m2m1m22a=x2a2m1m22a=x2a2(2ah)a4a=×(2ah)×x=h6a
Now substituting the values of x in (1) then
y+2am1=m2+m32+h6aam12 =m12h6aam12y+2am1=m1h2+3am1+am132y=am1m1h2+am132=122am,m,h+am13=12(k)from(A)
y = - k/2. Hence orthocenter is (h - 6a, -k/2).
