The equation of the normal to the curve 3 x 2 y 2 = 8 , which is parallel to the line x + 3 y = 10 , is

A. x + 3 y + 6 = 0

B. x + 3 y 3 = 0

C. x + 3 y + 8 = 0

D. x + 3 y 4 = 0

Correct Option is (C)

3 x 2 y 2 = 8

Differentiating w.r.t. x , we get

6 x 2 y d y d x = 0 d y d x = 3 x y

Slope of the tangent to the curve is 3 x y .

Slope of the normal is y 3 x .

It is parallel to line x + 3 y = 10 slope = 1 3

y 3 x = 1 3 x = y

When x = y , equation of the curve becomes 3 x 2 x 2 = 8

x 2 = 4

x = 2 , 2 y = 2 , 2

( 2 , 2 ) and ( 2 , 2 ) are the points of contact of the normal and the curve.

 Equations are  ( y 2 ) = 1 3 ( x 2 )  or  ( y + 2 ) = 1 3 ( x + 2 )  i.e.,  x + 3 y 8 = 0  or  x + 3 y + 8 = 0

If the curves y 2 = 6 x and 9 x 2 + b y 2 = 16 intersect each other at right angle, then value of ' b ' is

A. 9 2

B. 6

C. 7 2

D. 4

Correct Option is (A)

y 2 = 6 x .... (i) 2 y d y d x = 6 d y d x = 3 y  Also,  9 x 2 + b y 2 = 16 18 x + 2 b y d y d x = 0 d y d x = 9 x b y

As given curves intersect each other at righ angle, their tangents also intersect at right angles.

3 y × 9 x   b y = 1 b y 2 = 27 x

( i ) b ( 6 x ) = 27 x b = 9 2

The angle between the tangents to the curves y = 2 x 2 and x = 2 y 2 at ( 1 , 1 ) is

A. tan 1 ( 15 8 )

B. tan 1 ( 7 8 )

C. tan 1 ( 3 4 )

D. tan 1 ( 1 4 )

Correct Option is (A)

y = 2 x 2

Slope of the tangent to this curve is

d y   d x = m 1 = 4 x  at  ( 1 , 1 ) , m 1 = 4 x = 2 y 2

Slope of the tangent to this curve is d y   d x = m 2 = 1 4 y

 at  ( 1 , 1 ) , m 2 = 1 4

Let θ be the angle between two tangents.

tan θ = | m 1 m 2 1 + m 1   m 2 | = | 4 1 4 1 + 4 × 1 4 | = 15 8 θ = tan 1 ( 15 8 )

The equation of the tangent to the curve y = 9 2 x 2 , at the point where the ordinate and abscissa are equal, is

A. 2 x + y + 3 = 0

B. 2 x + y + 3 3 = 0

C. 2 x y 3 3 = 0

D. 2 x + y 3 3 = 0

Correct Option is (D)

Given curve is y = 9 2 x 2

If ordinate and abscissa are equal, we get y = x .

Equation of the curve becomes x 2 = 9 2 x 2

x = ± 3

If x = 3 , then y = 9 2 ( 3 ) = 3

In this case, x y .

Hence, x 3

x = 3 and y = 3

Slope of the tangent to the given curve is 2 y d y   d x = 4 x

at ( 3 , 3 ) , d y   d x = 2

Equation of the required tangent is

( y 3 ) = 2 ( x 3 )  i.e.,  2 x + y 3 3 = 0

5. ⇒  ( MHT CET 2023 10th May Morning Shift)

If the line a x + b y + c = 0 is a normal to the curve x y = 1 , then

A. a > 0 , b > 0

B. a > 0 , b < 0

C. a < 0 , b < 0

D. a = 0 ,   b = 0

Correct Option is (B)

x y = 1 y = 1 x y = 1 x 2  Slope of the normal  = x 2  Slope of the line  a x + b y + c = 0  is  a b .

Since the line a x + b y + c = 0 is a normal to the curve x y = 1 ,

x 2 = a b

For this condition to hold true, either a < 0 ,   b > 0 or b < 0 , a > 0
