SSC Pure Mathematics QUESTION #11196
Question 1
The normal plane is perpendicular to:
  • $\mathbf{t}$✔️
  • $\mathbf{n}$
  • $\mathbf{b}$
  • $\mathbf{t}\times\mathbf{n}$
Correct Answer Explanation
The normal plane at a point on a curve is the plane perpendicular to the tangent vector $\mathbf{t}$. It contains both the principal normal $\mathbf{n}$ and the binormal $\mathbf{b}$. It is spanned by $\{\mathbf{n},\mathbf{b}\}$ and has $\mathbf{t}$ as its normal vector.
