  1. A a parabola
  2. B a circle
  3. C a hyperbola
  4. D an ellipse
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a hyperbola

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

equation of normal \(Y-y=\left(\frac{\frac{-1}{d y}}{d x}\right) \cdot(X-x) \quad Y=0 \quad \therefore \quad y \frac{d y}{d x}+x=X \quad \therefore \quad a / c \text { to } Q \quad y \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}+x=2 x\)…
