Detailed Solution

x3y2=0 (1)  Differentiating with respect to x

2ydydx=3x2 Slope of tangent at P=dydx=3x22y4m2,8m3=3m

 Equation of tangent at P is y8m3=3mx4m2 Or y=3mx4m3.. (2) 

 Solving (1) and (2)  (i.e) x3=y2 and y=3mx4m33mx4m32=x3x39m2x2+24m4x16m6=0

By trial and error method, x=m2 satisfies above equations.

After further factorization we get

x4m22(xm)2=0x=4m2,m2 Put x=m2 in (2); then y=m3Qm2,m3

 Slope of tangent at Q=dydxm2,m3=32m Slope of normal at Q=23m

  23m=3m

 (Or) 9m2=2m=±23 Therefore, the correct answer is (1).
