    For the curve \[4{{x}^{5}}=5{{y}^{4}},\] the ratio of the    cube of the subtangent at a point on the curve the square of the subnormal at the same point is

    A) \[\frac{{{4}^{4}}}{5}\]                                    

    B) \[\frac{{{5}^{4}}}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{4}^{4}}}{{{5}^{4}}}\]                                     

    D) \[{{\left( \frac{5}{4} \right)}^{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The given curve is\[4{{x}^{5}}=5{{y}^{4}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[20{{x}^{4}}=20{{y}^{3}}.\frac{dy}{dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{{{x}^{4}}}{{{y}^{3}}}\] We know that Length of subnormal \[(SN)=\left( y.\frac{dx}{dy} \right)=\left( \frac{{{y}^{4}}}{{{x}^{4}}} \right)\] Length of subtangent\[(ST)=\left( y.\frac{dy}{dx} \right)=\left( \frac{{{x}^{4}}}{{{y}^{2}}} \right)\] But given condition is                 \[\frac{{{(SN)}^{3}}}{{{(ST)}^{2}}}=\frac{{{({{y}^{4}}/{{x}^{4}})}^{3}}}{{{({{x}^{4}}/{{y}^{2}})}^{2}}}={{\left( \frac{{{y}^{4}}}{{{x}^{4}}} \right)}^{3}}\times {{\left( \frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{x}^{4}}} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{{{y}^{12}}}{{{x}^{12}}}\times \frac{{{y}^{4}}}{{{x}^{8}}}=\left( \frac{{{y}^{16}}}{{{x}^{20}}} \right)\]                 \[={{\left( \frac{{{y}^{4}}}{{{x}^{5}}} \right)}^{4}}\]                 \[={{\left( \frac{4}{5} \right)}^{4}}=\frac{{{4}^{4}}}{{{5}^{4}}}\]   \[(\because 4{{x}^{5}}=5{{y}^{4}})\]
