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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\tan ^{-1}(-3)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation of curves are \[ \begin{aligned} & x^2=8 y \\ & x y=8 \end{aligned} \] On substituting the value of \(y\) from Eq. (i) in Eq. (ii), we get \[ \begin{aligned} x\left(\frac{x^2}{8}\right) & =8 \\ x^3 & =64 \\ x & =4 \end{aligned} \]…
