Answer:

Correct Answer: 13. x+2y=π2 and x+2y=3π2

Solution:

  1. Given, x=a(cosθ+θsinθ)

and y=a(sinθθcosθ)

dxdθ=a(sinθ+sinθ+θcosθ)=aθcosθ

and dydθ=a(cosθcosθ+θsinθ)

dydθ=aθsinθdydx=tanθ

Thus, equation of normal is

ya(sinθθcosθ)xa(cosθ+θsinθ)=cosθsinθ

xcosθ+aθsinθcosθ+acos2θ =ysinθ+θasinθcosθasin2θ

xcosθ+ysinθ=a

whose distance from origin is

|0+0a|cos2θ+sin2θ=a
