Let L be a normal to the parabola y2 = 4x. If L passes through the point (9, 6), then L is not given by 

a
y- x+3 = 0
b
y+ 3x-33 = 0
c
y+x - 15 = 0
d
y-2x + 12 = 0

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The equation of the normal is y =mx- 2m -m3.As it passes through (9, 6)6 =9m-2m -m3 ⇒m3-7m +6 =0⇒m =1,2,-3.Showing that L is not given by (c).
