  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dy}}=0\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dy}}=1\)
  4. D \(\frac{d y}{d x}=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dy}}=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If any tangent is perpendicular to \(x\)-axis, then
\[
\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dy}}=0 \text {. }
