Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((5,-2)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(y^{2}=2(x-3) \quad\)...(i)
On differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get \(2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=2\)
\(\Rightarrow\)
\(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{y}\)
Slope of the normal \(=\frac{-1}{(d y / d x)}=-y\) Slope of the given line \(=2\) \(\therefore \quad y=-2\)
From Eq. (i), \(x=5\)
\(\therefore\) Required point is \((5,-2)\).
