Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, curves are : \(x^2+y^2=4 x\) ...(i) and\(x^2+y^2=8\) ...(ii) \(\because \frac{d y}{d x}\) is the slope of tangent drawn to curve Slope of the tangent drawn to curve (i) is \(m_1=\frac{d y}{d x} \quad\) [from curve (i)] On differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. \(x\)…
