Sol.     Let the equation of any normal be y = – tx + 2t + t3

 

            Since it passes through the points (15, 12)

 

            \         12 = –15t + 2t + t3                 i.e.       t3 – 13t – 12 = 0

 

            \         t = –1, –3/4

 

            \         The points are (1, –2), (9 – 6), (16, 8)        \         Centroid is (26/3,0)
