As we have learnt, 

 

NORMAL -

The normal to the curve at any point  P on it is the straight line which passes through P and  is perpendicular to the tangent to the curve at P

- wherein

 

 Every pair intersect at (1,2) but B is the only pair where lines are perpendicular also, So B can only represent a pair of tangent and normal.

 


Option 1)

2x + 3y = 8, \;2x -y = 0

Option 2)

2x-3y=-4,\;3x+2y = 7

Option 3)

x +2y=5,\;2x+y=4

Option 4)

3x + 4y = 11, \;4x+3y =10
