A. \(I or II\)
B. \(III or IV\)
C. \(II or III\)
D. \(II or IV\)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A D only
  2. B C only

  4. D B only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{x}{8}\frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{y}{2}\frac{dy}{dt} = 0\) \(\frac{x}{8}(4\frac{dy}{dt}) + \frac{y}{2}\frac{dy}{dt} = 0\) \(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{2} = 0 \Rightarrow y = -x\) \(\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{(-x)^2}{4} = 1\)…
