Assertion : The ratio of length of tangent to length of normal is directly proportional to the ordinate of the point of tangency at the curve y2 = 4ax.
Reason : Length of normal & tangent to a curve
y = f (x) is \[\left|\mathrm{y} \sqrt{1+\mathrm{m}^{2}}\right| \text { and }\left|\frac{\mathrm{y} \sqrt{1+\mathrm{m}^{2}}}{\mathrm{~m}}\right|,\]where \(\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\).
  1. If Assertion is true, Reason is true, Reason is a correct explanation for Assertion.
  2. If Assertion is true, Reason is true, Reason is not a correct explanation for Assertion.
  3. If Assertion is true, Reason is false.
  4. If Assertion is false, Reason is true.

Answer

(A) If Assertion is true, Reason is true, Reason is a correct explanation for Assertion.
