    The angle of intersection of curves \[y={{x}^{2}},\] \[6y=7-{{x}^{3}}\] at (1, 1) is [Kurukshetra CEE 2002]

    A)            \[\pi /4\]

    B)            \[\pi /3\]

    C)            \[\pi /2\]

    D)            \[\pi \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[y={{x}^{2}}\] Þ \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{(1,\,1)}}={{m}_{1}}=2x=2\]            \[6y=7-{{x}^{3}}\Rightarrow 6\,.\,\frac{dy}{dx}=-3{{x}^{2}}\] Þ\[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{(1,\,1)}}={{m}_{2}}=-\frac{1}{2}\]            Clearly \[{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}=-1,\] therefore angle of intersection is \[\frac{\pi }{2}\].
