Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Hyperbola

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have,
\(\begin{aligned}
\frac{d y}{d x} &=\frac{3 x}{y} \\
\Rightarrow & \int y d y &=\int 3 x d x \\
\Rightarrow & & \frac{y^{2}}{2} &=3 \cdot \frac{x^{2}}{2}+C...(i)
\end{aligned}\)
Since, Eq (i) passing through point \((1,2)\)
\(\begin{aligned}
&\therefore \quad \quad \frac{4}{2}=\frac{3}{2}(1)^{2}+c \\
&\Rightarrow \quad c=2-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \\
&\therefore \text { Equation of curve, } \frac{y^{2}}{2}=\frac{3 x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \\
&\Rightarrow \quad y^{2}=3 x^{2}+1 \Rightarrow y^{2}-3 x^{2}=1 \\
&\Rightarrow \quad \frac{y^{2}}{(1)^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{(1 / \sqrt{3})^{2}}=1
\end{aligned}\)
Which represents a Hyperbola.
