KCET2023MathematicsApplication of Derivatives
A particle moves along the curve x^2 16 + y^2 4 =1 . When the rate of change of abscissa is 4 times that of its ordinate, then the quadrant in which the particle lies is
Options
- AII or IV
- BIII or IV
- CII or III
- DI or III
Correct answer
D. I or III
Step-by-step solution
Given, particles moves along the curve x^2 16 + y^2 4 = 2 x 16 + 2 y 4 d y d x =0 d y d x = -2 x 16 4 2 y = -x 4 y According to the question, x=4 y From Eq. (i), we get d y d x =-1 When slope is negative, then the particle lies in Ist and IIIrd quadrant.
