  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
  2. B \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\)
  3. C \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\)
  4. D \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Point of intersection other then origin is \((4,4)\). Now, slope of fangents to curve \((i)\) at \((4,4)\) is \[ m_1=\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{(4,4)}=\left.\frac{2 x}{4}\right|_{(4,4)}=2 \] and slope of tangent to curve (ii) at \((4,4)\) is…
