    $\frac{b}{a}$
  • B
    $-\frac{b}{a}$
  • C

At any two points of the curve represented parametrically by $x = a(2 \cos t - \cos 2t)$ and $y = a(2 \sin t - \sin 2t)$,the tangents are parallel to the $x$-axis. The values of the parameter $t$ corresponding to these points differ from each other by:

$x=\cos \theta, y=\sin 5 \theta \Rightarrow (1-x^2) \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}-x \frac{d y}{d x}$ is equal to (in $y$)
