Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(14\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of normal to \(\frac{x^2}{8}+\frac{y^2}{2}=1\) at \((2,-1)\) is \(\begin{aligned} & \frac{8 x}{2}-\left(\frac{2 y}{(-1)}\right)=8-2 \\ & \Rightarrow 4 x+2 y=6 \Rightarrow y=3-2 x \end{aligned}\) Solving for point of intersection…
