The condition on \(a\) and \(b\), such that for \(y=\frac{a}{x}-\frac{b}{x^2}, \frac{d y}{d x}=0\) at \(x=1\) is :

  1. A \(b=2 a\)
  2. B \(b=-2 b\)
  3. C \(a=2 b\)
  4. D \(b=-2 a\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(a=2 b\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x}(ax^{-1} - bx^{-2}) = -ax^{-2} + 2bx^{-3}\) At \(x=1, \frac{d y}{d x}=0\): \(-a(1)^{-2} + 2b(1)^{-3} = 0\) \(-a + 2b = 0\) \(a = 2b\)
