        A point on the parabola\[{{y}^{2}}=18x\]at which the ordinate increases at twice the rate of the abscissa, is

    A)  \[(2,\,4)\]                          

    B)  \[(2,\,-4)\]

    C)  \[\left( -\frac{9}{8},\frac{9}{2} \right)\]                

    D)  \[\left( \frac{9}{8},\frac{9}{2} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Equation of parabola is\[{{y}^{2}}=18x\]. Differentiate w.r. to t, we get                 \[2y\frac{dy}{dt}=18\frac{dx}{dt}\]                 \[2.2y=18\]         \[\left( \because \frac{dy}{dt}=2\frac{dx}{dt} \right)\]                 \[y=\frac{9}{2}\] \[\therefore \]From equation of parabola \[{{\left( \frac{9}{2} \right)}^{2}}=18x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{81}{4}=18x\Rightarrow x=\frac{81}{4\times 18}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=\frac{9}{8}\] \[\therefore \]  Point is\[\left( \frac{9}{8},\frac{9}{2} \right)\].
