    The equation of the curve whose subnormal is constant, is

    A)  a straight line  

    B)  a parabola

    C)  a hyperbola      

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since, subnormal = constant \[\therefore \]\[y\frac{dy}{dx}=k,\]where k is constant. \[\Rightarrow \]\[ydy=kdx\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=kx+{{c}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{y}^{2}}=2kx+2{{c}_{1}}\] Which represents an equation of parabola.
