Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of given curve is \(3 y^2=4 x^3\) ...(i) Let a point \(P(h, k)\) on the curve (i), so \(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(h, k)}=\frac{2 h^2}{k}\) Now, length of sub-tangent, \(T=\left|k \frac{k}{2 h^2}\right|=\frac{1}{2} \frac{k^2}{h^2}\) and length of sub-normal,…
