    The length of subnormal to the curve\[{{y}^{2}}=4x\] at any point is

    A)  2

    B)  \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}\]

    C)  \[2{{y}^{2}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Length of subnormal\[=y\frac{dy}{dx}\] Given, \[{{y}^{2}}=4x\] On differentiating w.r.t.\[x,\] \[2y\frac{dy}{dx}=4\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y\frac{dy}{dx}=2\] Hence, the length of subnormal at any point of\[{{y}^{2}}=4x\]is 2.
