General point on first curve is (y2/4a,y) and general point on first is (-[y-ba]2/4a,y). Find distance between them and minimize it [1]. Long method but correct i hope.
The least dist. b/n y2=4ax and (y-ba)2=-4ax is 8√5a,where b is posiive. The value of b is_?

Least distance should be along common normal... that will be little short method... i think

Is it necessary for 2 curves to have a common normal?/
Take x asix and y axis!

but the x and axis are intersecting... then there least dist is zero...
i mean for any two curves which are intersceting,,, the lesat dist between them is zero.. (b/w y not negative :P)
