JEE Main 2022 · 25 Jul · Shift 2, Mathematics question 11

Let a smooth curve y=f(x)y=f(x) be such that the slope of the tangent at any point (x,y)(x,y) on it is directly proportional to (−yx)\left(\dfrac{-y}x\right). If the curve passes through the points (1,2)(1,2) and (8,1)(8,1), then ∣y(18)∣\left|y\left(\dfrac18\right)\right| is equal to

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: B

Curve y=Cx−ky=Cx^{-k}: C=2C=2 and 1=2⋅8−k1=2\cdot8^{-k} give k=13k=\frac13.

Value y(18)=2⋅2=4y\left(\frac18\right)=2\cdot2=4.
