Detailed Solution

 Given parabola y2=12x    

4a=12 a=3

Given normal x+y=k

  If lx+my+n=0 is a normal to y2=4ax Then

al3+2alm2+m2n=0 Where l=1,  m=1,  n=-k 3(1)3+6(1) (1)+1(-k)=0 k=9

Focus (a,0)=(3, 0)

Normal is x+y-9=0

             p=3+0-92=62 Now 4k-2p2=4(9)-2362                =36-36                =0
