P, Q, and R are the feet of the normals drawn to a parabola (`y−3)^2=8(x−2)`. A circle cuts the above parabola at points P, Q, R, and S. Then this circle always passes through the point. (a)(2, 3)(b)(3, 2)(c)(0, 3) (d) (2, 0 )

(1) A circle through three co-normal point of a parabola always passes through the vertex of the parabola. Hence, the circle through P,Q,R and S out of which P,Q and R are co-normals points will always pass through vertex (2,3) of the parabola.
