    If\[y=4x-5\]is a tangent to the curve\[{{y}^{2}}=p{{x}^{3}}+q\]at (2, 3), then

    A) \[p=2,q=-7\]     

    B)  \[p=-2,q=7\]

    C)  \[p=-2,q=-7\]   

    D)  \[p=2,q=7\]

    E)  \[p=0,q=7\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The equation of curve is \[{{y}^{2}}=p{{x}^{3}}+q\] \[\therefore \]  \[2y\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3p{{x}^{2}}}{2y}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3p{{x}^{2}}}{2y}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}_{(2,3)}}=\frac{3p{{(2)}^{2}}}{2.3}=2p\] The equation of tangent at (2, 3) is \[(y-3)=2p(x-2)\] \[\Rightarrow \]         \[2px-y=4p-3\]                   ...(i) This is similar to\[y=4x-5\] \[\therefore \]  \[2p=4\]and\[4p-3=5\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[p=2\]and\[p=2\] The point (2, 3) lies on the curve. \[\therefore \]  \[9=8p+q\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[9=16+q\]                        (\[\because \]\[p=2\]) \[\Rightarrow \] \[q=-7\]
