Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{e}^2}, \frac{-2}{\mathrm{e}^2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \log x + x \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \log x + 1\) Slope of normal \(m_n = -\frac{1}{\log x + 1}\) Slope of line \(2x - 2y = 3\) is \(m_l = 1\) \(m_n = m_l \Rightarrow -\frac{1}{\log x + 1} = 1\)…
