This is a questions off the 2002 Barker Trial Paper, I haven't been able to get it and I couldn't find solutions anywhere, can anyone solve it.

5. The normal at P(ct, c/t ) to the hyperbola xy = c2 meets the curve again at Q.
(a) Prove that the equation of the normal is xt3 − ty = ct4 − c
(b) Find the coordinates of Q.
(c) A line from P through the origin meets the hyperbola again at R. Prove that PR is perpendicular to QR.
