Correct answer: C

  1. Given relation

    t=αx2+βxt = \alpha x^2 + \beta xt=αx2+βx

    We need the relation between acceleration aaa and velocity vvv.

  2. Differentiate with respect to xxx

    Since ttt is given as a function of xxx,

    dtdx=2αx+β\frac{dt}{dx} = 2\alpha x + \betadxdt​=2αx+β

    But

    v=dxdt=(dtdx)−1v = \frac{dx}{dt} = \left(\frac{dt}{dx}\right)^{-1}v=dtdx​=(dxdt​)−1

    so,

    v=12αx+βv = \frac{1}{2\alpha x + \beta}v=2αx+β1​

  3. Express xxx in terms of vvv

    2αx+β=1v2\alpha x + \beta = \frac{1}{v}2αx+β=v1​

  4. Find acceleration

    We use

    a=dvdt=dvdx⋅dxdt=vdvdxa = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{dv}{dx}\cdot\frac{dx}{dt} = v\frac{dv}{dx}a=dtdv​=dxdv​⋅dtdx​=vdxdv​

    From

    v=(2αx+β)−1v = (2\alpha x + \beta)^{-1}v=(2αx+β)−1

    differentiate with respect to xxx:

    dvdx=−(2α)(2αx+β)−2\frac{dv}{dx} = -(2\alpha)(2\alpha x + \beta)^{-2}dxdv​=−(2α)(2αx+β)−2

    Since

    (2αx+β)−1=v⇒(2αx+β)−2=v2(2\alpha x + \beta)^{-1} = v \quad \Rightarrow \quad (2\alpha x + \beta)^{-2} = v^2(2αx+β)−1=v⇒(2αx+β)−2=v2

    hence,

    dvdx=−2αv2\frac{dv}{dx} = -2\alpha v^2dxdv​=−2αv2

    Therefore,

    a=vdvdx=v(−2αv2)=−2αv3a = v\frac{dv}{dx} = v(-2\alpha v^2) = -2\alpha v^3a=vdxdv​=v(−2αv2)=−2αv3

  5. Compare with options

    a=−2αv3a = -2\alpha v^3a=−2αv3

    This matches Option C.
