Question -


The  two curves x33xy2+2=0 and 3x2yy32=0

Options:
A .   Cut at right angles
B .   Touch each other
C .   Cut at an angle π/3
D .   Cut at an angle π/4
Answer: Option A
:
A
x33xy2+2=0...(1)3x2yy32=0...(2)
On differentiating equations (1) and (2) w.r.t x, we obtain
(dydx)c1=x2y22xy and (dydx)c2=2xyx2y2
Since m1.m2=1.Therefore the two curves cut at right angles.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
