\mathrm{\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{ty}=\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{at} \mathrm{t}^2}                            \mathrm{...(1)}

line perpendicular to (1) through (a, 0)

\mathrm{t x+y=t a }                                         \mathrm{...(2)}

\mathrm{\text { equation of } \mathrm{OP}: \mathrm{y}-\frac{2}{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{x}=0}          \mathrm{...(3)}

from (2) & (3) eleminating t we get locus
