  1. A \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{11}\)
  2. B \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{11}{3}\)
  3. C \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{11}\)
  4. D \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{11}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{11}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The intersection point of \(xy=6\) and \(x^2y=12\) is \((2,3)\). For \(xy=6\), \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{y}{x}\). At \((2,3)\), \(m_1 = -\frac{3}{2}\).
