$1.$ The value of $r$ is
$(A) -\frac{1}{t}$ $(B) \frac{t^2+1}{t}$ $(C) \frac{1}{t}$ $(D) \frac{t^2-1}{t}$
$2.$ If $st=1$,then the tangent at $P$ and the normal at $S$ to the parabola meet at a point whose ordinate is
$(A) \frac{(t^2+1)^2}{2t^3}$ $(B) \frac{a(t^2+1)^2}{2t^3}$ $(C) \frac{a(t^2+1)^2}{t^3}$ $(D) \frac{a(t^2+2)^2}{t^3}$
