Detailed Solution

Given that Pb,c lies on the parabola. So c2=2ab

Now equation of tangent ot the parabola y2=2ax in point form yy1=ax+x1

it implies that cy=ax+b

for the point B, put y=0, hence x=-b

So , the area of triangle PBA is 16 square units

it implies that bc=16

Since the values are all natural numbers, and c2=2ab, the possible values of a are 128,16 and 2
