The point on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=2$ at the abscissa and ordinate increase at the same rate is

The point on the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=2$ at the abscissa and ordinate increase at the same rate is
  1. $(-1,-1)$
  2. $(1,-1)$
  3. $(1,1)$
  4. $(-1,4)$

Solution

Given, equation of circle is $x^{2}+y^{2}=2 \quad \text{...(i)}$ Taking derivative w.r.t. ' $t$ ' on both sides. $2 x \frac{d x}{d t}+2 y \frac{d y}{d t}=0 \Rightarrow x \frac{d x}{d t}+y \frac{d y}{d t}=0$ If abscissa and ordinate increase at the same rate, we have $\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{d y}{d t}$ $x \frac{d x}{d t}+y \frac{d x}{d t}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}(x+y)=0$ Since, $\Rightarrow \quad x+y=0 \Rightarrow x=-y \quad \text{...(ii)}$ Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $x^{2}+(-x)^{2}=2 \Rightarrow x=\pm 1$ For $x=1, y=-1$ and $x=-1, y=1$ Required point are $(1,-1)$ and $(-1,1)$.
