If the line $x + y = 1$ is a normal to the parabola $y^2 = kx$,then find the value of $k$. (in $/3$)

Suppose the parabola $(y-k)^2 = 4a(x-h)$ has vertex $A$ and passes through $O = (0,0)$ and $L = (0,2)$. Let $D$ be an end point of the latus rectum. Let the $Y$-axis intersect the axis of the parabola at $P$. Then,$\angle PDA$ is equal to

If the normal at the point $t_1$ (i.e.,at $(at_1^2, 2at_1)$) on the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ meets the parabola again at the point $t_2$,then $t_1t_2$ is equal to:

Statement $(A)$: If the normal at the ends of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2 = 4x$ meet the curve again at $P$ and $P'$,then $PP' = 12$ units.
Reason $(R)$: If the normal at $T_1$ to the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ meets the parabola again at $T_2$,then $T_2 = -T_1 - \frac{2}{T_1}$.
