Equation of normal to parabola y^2 = 4ax...

Equation of normal to parabola `y^2 = 4ax` at `(at^2, 2at)` is `y-2at = -t(x-at^2) i.e. y=-tx+2at + at^3` Greatest and least distances between two curves occur along their common normals. Least and greatest distances of a point from a curve occur along the normal to the curve passing through that point. Shortest distance between parabola `2y^2-2x+1=0 and 2x^2-2y+1=0` is: (A) `1/2` (B) `1/sqrt(2)` (C) `1/(2sqrt(2))` (D) `2sqrt(2)`
