  1. A \((2,8)\)
  2. B \((8,2)\)
  3. C \((6,1)\)
  4. D \((4,2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((2,8)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) be the required point. The given curve is \[ \begin{aligned} y &=6 x-x^{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d i j}{d x} &=6-2 x \\ \Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\left(x_{1}, \mathfrak{h}\right)} &=6-2 x_{1} \end{aligned} \] Since,…
