    The value of \['p'\] such that the length of subtangent and subnormal is equal for the curve \[y={{e}^{px}}+px\] at the point \[(0,\,\,1)\] is

    A) \[p=\pm 1\]                      

    B) \[p=\pm 2\]

    C) \[p=\pm \frac{1}{2}\]                    

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{dy}{dx}=p{{e}^{px}}+p\]at point\[(0,\,\,1)=2p\] Subtangent\[=\left| y\frac{dy}{dx} \right|\], Subnormal\[=\left| y\frac{dy}{dx} \right|\] Given, Subtangent = Subnormal \[{{p}^{2}}=q\]  \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\pm 1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[2p=\pm 1\] \[\therefore \]  \[p=\pm \frac{1}{2}\]
