Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be a bijection. $A$ curve represented by $y=f(x)$ is such that $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ for all $x \in R$. The tangent and normal drawn at $P(\alpha, 1)$ on the curve cut the $X$-axis at $A$ and $B$ respectively,and $C$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ onto the $X$-axis. If $P(\alpha, 1)$ is such a point that $AC+CB$ is minimum,then the tangent at $P$ is parallel to the line
