11.Sol: (A,B). There are three tasks here, first,
to write down a differential equation from the
given geometric property of the curve ,
second, to find its general solution and the third,
to identify a particular solution using the given
intial condition, viz., the point (1,0) lies on it,
i.e.y (^1)  0.
The equation of the tangent to T at a point
P x y 0 , 0 on it is
y y y x x  0 '  0  (1)
So the point YPis0,y y x 0  ' 0 . The condition
YYP translates as
2 2 2
x y x 0  ' 0  1 (2)
for all x y 0 , 0 . Hence the differential equation
satisfied by  is
xy'   1 x^2 (3)
Because of continuity, the same sign must hold
throughout. To find out which sign it is, note
first that  has no points for which x>1. The
tangent at (1,0) is given to cut the y-axis at a
point which is at a distance 1 from (1,0).
So, this point must be the origin (0,0). Hence
the tangent to  at (1,0) is the x-axis. But this
cannot be the curve , as otherwise, the
x- axis will also be the tangent to  at any
P x 1 , 0 with 0  x 1 1 and then YP0, 0
will be at a distance less than 1 from P.
We conclude that there is some x 1 0,1 at
which y x 1  0 and hence y x 1  0 as
the curve is in the positive quadrant. We now
