The equation of the normal to the circle \(x^2+y^2=16\) at the point \(\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\) is

  1. A \(x+y=0\)
  2. B \(x-y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
  3. C \(x-y=0\)
  4. D \(x+y=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x-y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centre \(C=(0,0)\) \(P=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\) Since, every normal passes through centre \(\therefore\) Equation of Normal \(=\) Equation of \(\mathrm{CP}\)…
