Options
- Acut at right angles
- Btouch each other
- Ccut at an angle / 3
- Dcut at an angle / 4
Correct answer
A. cut at right angles
Step-by-step solution
Given curves are x^3-3 x y^2+2=0 ..(i) and 3 x^2 y-y^3-2=0 ...(ii) On differentiating Eqs. (i) and (ii), with respect to x , we get ( d y d x ) C₁= x^2-y^2 2 x y aligned ( d y d x ) C₂ & = 2 x y x^2-y^2 ( d y d x )_ C₁ ( d y d x )_ C₂ & =-1 aligned
