A line is drawn normal to the curve y=2x2y=\dfrac{2}{x^2} at the point on the curve where x=1x=1.

This line cuts the xx-axis at PP and the yy-axis at QQ.

The length of PQPQ is

A352\dfrac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}
B3174\dfrac{3\sqrt{17}}{4}
C7174\dfrac{7\sqrt{17}}{4}
D354\dfrac{35}{4}
E3552\dfrac{35\sqrt{5}}{2}
F3172\dfrac{3\sqrt{17}}{2}
