If $x=t^2$ and $y=2 t$ are parametric equations of a curve, then equation of the normal to the curve at $t=2$ is
  1. $2 x+y-12=0$
  2. $x+y-8=0$
  3. $x+2 y-12=0$
  4. $2 x+3 y-20=0$

Solution

Equation of normal at $t$ $\begin{aligned} & (y-2 t)=\frac{-\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{~d} t}\left(x-t^2\right) \\ & \Rightarrow(y-2 t)=\frac{-2 t}{2}\left(x-t^2\right) \\ & \Rightarrow(y-4)=-2(x-4)[\text { for } t=2] \\ & \Rightarrow 2 x+y-12=0 \end{aligned}$
