  1. A \(x+2 y=3 a\)
  2. B \(3 x-4 y+a=0\)
  3. C \(4 x+3 y=7 a\)
  4. D \(4 x-3 y=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(4 x+3 y=7 a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given curve is \(y^4=a x^3\) On differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get \[ \begin{aligned} & 4 y^3 \frac{d y}{d x}=3 a x^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(a, a)}=\frac{3 a^3}{4 a^3}=\frac{3}{4} \\ & \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) Equation of normal at point…
