Q52 / 90 · JEE Main 2017 (02 Apr) · Mathematics

The normal to the curve  yx-2 x-3=x+6 at the point where the curve intersects the y-axis passes through the point:

  • A
    -12, -12
  • Correct answer
    B
    12,12
  • C
    12, -13
  • D
    12,13

Solution

To find the point where curve intersects the y-axis 

Put, x=0, we get

 6y=6⇒y=1

Hence, the point is (0, 1).

On differentiating

⇒dydx x-2 x-3+y2x-5=1

Put, x=0, y=1, we get

⇒ dydx+6+1-5=1

⇒dydx=1

⇒ Slope of normal =-1

Equation of normal at 0, 1

⇒y-1=-1x-0

⇒x+y-1=0

Point 12,12 satisfy the normal.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
