Detailed Solution

Equation of the tangent at the point p(x1,y1)

To the parabolay24ax is yy1=2a(x+x1)

(Or)

2axy1y+2ax1=0(1)

If M(h,k)is the mid -point of QK. Then the equation of QK. A chord of the parabola 

y2=4a(x+b), in terms of its mid point is ky2a(x+h)4ab=k24a(h+b)

Using T=S12axky+k2=2ah=0(2)

Since us and (2) represents same line we have

2a2a=y1k=2ax1k22ah

k=y1and k22ah=2ax1

y122ah=2ax14ax12ax1=2ah h=x1 (h1K)=(x1y1)
