The correct answer is: $(1,1)$
Given curve $x^2=3-2 y...(i)$
Differentiate w.r.t. $x, \quad 2 x=0-2 \frac{d y}{d x} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-x$
Slope of the tangent of the curve $=-x$
From the given line, slope $=-1, \therefore x=1$ and from equation (i), $y=1$
$\therefore$ Co-ordinate of the point is $(1,1)$.
