Question:

The normal to a given curve is parallel to x - axis, if

Options:

$\frac{d y}{d x}=0$

$\frac{d y}{d x}=1$

$\frac{d x}{d y}=0$

$\frac{d x}{d y}=1$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{d x}{d y}=0$

Explanation:

We have,

Slope of the normal = 0 $\Rightarrow-\frac{d x}{d y}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y}=0$
