the value of `lambda` for which the line `2x-8/3lambday=-3` is a normal to the conic `x^2+y^2/4=1` is:

A

`sqrt3/2`

B

`1/2`

C

`3/2`

D

`3/4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We know that the equation of the normal at point `(a cos theta, b sin theta)" on the curve "x^(2)+y^(2)/4=1" is given by"`
`ax sec theta-by "cosec "theta=a^(2)-b^(2) ....(1)`
Comparing equation (i) with `2x-8/3lambday=-3," we get " lambda^(2)=3/4`
