The length of the normal to the curve

x=a(\theta+\sin \theta), y=a(1-\cos \theta)

, at

\theta=\pi / 2

, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

a \sqrt{2}

Option B (

a \sqrt{2}

) is correct because the length of the normal to the curve at

\theta = \pi/2

is calculated to be

a\sqrt{2}
