Detailed Solution

At any point 't' on the given curve, we have

     dydx=dydt/dxdt=3acos2t(sint)3asin2t(cost)=cott

The equations of the tangent and normal at 't' are

      xcost+ysinta2sin2t=0                  (i)

and,  xsintycost+acos2t=0               (ii)

 OT=|(a/2)sin2t|cos2t+sin2t=a2sin2t2OT=asin2t

and, ON=|acos2t|sin2t+cos2t=acos2t

Hence,

    4OT2+ON2=a2sin22t+a2cos22t=a2

Length of the tangent at 't' =y1+dydx2dy/dx

    Length of the tangent at 't'=ycosectcott=ycost

       Length of the normal at 't'=y1+dydx2

   Length of the normal at 't'=y1+cot2t=ysint

Hence, options (a), (b) and (c) are correct.
