    If   the   curves\[{{x}^{2}}=9A(9-y)\]and\[{{x}^{2}}=A(y+1)\]intersect orthogonally, then the value of A is

    A)  3                                            

    B)  4

    C)  5                            

    D)         7

    E)  9

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The equation of curves are \[{{x}^{2}}=9A(9-y)\]                             ....(i) and         \[{{x}^{2}}=A(y+1)\]                             ...(ii) On differentiating Eq. (i), we get                 \[2x=-9A\frac{dy}{dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2x}{9A}\]                                ???(iii) And on differentiating Eq. (ii), we get                 \[2x=A\frac{dy}{dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{A}\]                    ?. (iv) Since, these curves (i) and (ii) intersect orthogonally. \[\therefore \]  \[\left( -\frac{2x}{9A} \right)\left( \frac{2x}{A} \right)=-1\] From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[9A(9-y)=A(y+1)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[81-9y=y+1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[10y=80\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=8\] \[\therefore \]From Eq. (i), we get \[{{x}^{2}}=9A(9-8)=9A\] From Eq.(v), \[\frac{4{{x}^{2}}}{9{{A}^{2}}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{4.9A}{9{{A}^{2}}}=1\Rightarrow A=4\]
