    The equation of the curve whose  subnormal is equal to a constant a is

    A) \[y=ax+b\]                         

    B)  \[{{y}^{2}}=2ax+2b\]

    C)  \[a{{y}^{2}}-{{x}^{3}}=a\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Since, length of subnormal \[=a\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y\frac{dy}{dx}=a\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y\,dy=a\,dx\] On integrating both sides, we get \[\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{2}=ax+b,\] where b is a constant of integration \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{y}^{2}}=2ax+2b\]
