Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Point of intersection of the curves \[ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad x^2+4 y & =0 \text { and } x y=2 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x^2 & =-4 y \text { and } y=\frac{2}{x} \\ \Rightarrow \quad x^2 & =\frac{-8}{x} \\ x^3 & =-8 \Rightarrow x=-2 \end{aligned} \] Slope of first curve at…
