Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given curve : \(y^3-3 x y+2=0\) \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y}{y^2-x}\) For vertical tangent \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\infty \Rightarrow y^2-x=0\) \(\Rightarrow y^2=x \Rightarrow n(B)=1\) For horizontal tangent \(\frac{d y}{d x}=0\) \(\Rightarrow y=0\) \(\quad\)[Does not satisfies given…
