The lines parallel to the normal to the curve `x y=1`is/are`3x+4y+5=0`(b) `3x-4y+5=0``4x+3y+5=0`(d) `3y-4x+5=0`A. `3x+4y+5=0`B. `3x-4y+5=0`C. `4x+3y+5=0`D. `3y-4x+5=0`

Answer» Correct Answer - B::D
Differentiating xy = 1 w.r.t. x, we have
`(dy)/(dx)=-(1)/(x^(2))lt0`
Hence, the slope of normal at any point `P(x_(1),y_(1))` is
`x_(1)^(2)gt0`.
Therefore, the slope of normal must always be positive.
Hence, the possible lines are (2) and (4).
