  1. A \(x \sin \theta-y \cos \theta=0\)
  2. B \(x \sin \theta+y \cos \theta=0\)
  3. C \(x \cos \theta \quad y \sin \theta=0\)
  4. D \(x \cos \theta+y \sin \theta=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x \sin \theta-y \cos \theta=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of normal is \(\frac{x}{\cos \theta}=\frac{y}{\sin \theta}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(x \sin \theta-y \cos \theta=0\)
