The parametric equations $x - 2 = t^2$ and $y = 2t$ represent which parabola?

What do the equations $x = \frac{t}{4}$ and $y = \frac{t^2}{4}$ represent?

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 $T_2 = -T_1 - \frac{2}{T_1}$.
