    The sub tangent at any point of the curve\[{{x}^{m}}{{y}^{n}}={{a}^{m+n}}\]varies as

    A) \[{{(abscissa)}^{2}}\]                     

    B) \[{{(abscissa)}^{3}}\]

    C)  abscissa              

    D)  ordinate

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have,\[{{x}^{m}}{{y}^{n}}={{a}^{m+n}}\] Taking logarithm on both sides, we get                 \[\Rightarrow m\log x+n\log y=(m+n)\log a\] Differentiating both sides w.r.t.\[x,\] we get \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{m}{x}+\frac{n}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{nx}{my}\] \[\therefore \]Subtangent\[=\left| y\frac{dx}{dy} \right|=\frac{nx}{m}\propto x\]
