Official Solution
Option B is correct
We have, $2y + {x^2} = 3$ …(i)
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. $x$, we get $2\cfrac{{dy}}{{dx}} + 2x = 0 \Rightarrow \cfrac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - x$
As, ${\left( {\cfrac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)_{(1,1)}} = - 1$.
Therefore llope of normal $= 1$
The equation of normal is given by :
$y - 1 = 1 \cdot (x - 1) \Rightarrow x - y = 0.$
