    DIRECTION: Each of these questions contains two statements: Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Choose the correct answer (ONLY ONE option is correct) from the following-
    Statement-1: The line\[\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1\]touches the curve\[y=b{{e}^{-x/a}}\]at some point\[x={{x}_{0}}\] because
    Statement-2: \[\frac{dy}{dx}\]exists at\[x={{x}_{0}}\].

    A)  Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.

    B)  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

    C)  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

    D)  Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

       Line touches the curve at \[(0,\,\,b)\] and \[{{\left. \frac{dy}{dx} \right]}_{x=0}}\] also exists but even if \[\frac{dy}{dx}\] fails to exist tangents line can be drawn.
