Question
A curve is such that the mid point of the portion of the tangent intercepted between the point where the tangent is drawn and the point where the tangent meets y-axis, lies on the line y = x. If the curve passes through (1, 0), then the curve is
Options:
A .  2y=x2−x
B .  y=x2−x
C .  y=x−x2
D .  y=2(x−x2)  
Answer: Option C
:
C
The point on y-axis is (0,yxdydx)
According to given condition,
x2=yx2dydxdydx=2yx1
Putting yx=v we get
xdvdx=v1lnyx1=ln|x|+c1yx=x (as f(1)=0).
