If the normal at $\mathrm{\left(a t_1{ }^2, 2 a t_1\right)}$ w.r.t. parabola $\mathrm{y^2=4 a x}$ meet the curve again at $\mathrm{\left(a t_2{ }^2, 2 a t_2\right)}$ then we have
$\mathrm{ t_2=-t_1-\frac{2}{t_1} }$ ........(i)
Here, we have $\mathrm{a t_1{ }^2=a}$ and

$\mathrm{ 2 a t_1=2 a \Rightarrow t_1=1 }$

$\mathrm{ For \: t_2 \: putting \: t_1=1\: in \: (i), we\: get }$

$\mathrm{ t_2=-1-\frac{2}{1}=-3 }$

Hence option 3 is correct.
