Question:

Find $\frac{dy}{dx}$, if $x = at^2, y = 2at$.

Options:

$t$

$\frac{1}{t}$

$2t$

$\frac{1}{2t}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{t}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{1}{t}$ ##

Given that $x = at^2, y = 2at$

So $\frac{dx}{dt} = 2at \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = 2a$

Therefore $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{2a}{2at} = \frac{1}{t}$
