Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given differential equation is

y2dx+x1ydy=0

dxdy+1y2x=1y3, which is the linear differential equation of the form dxdy+Px=Q.

Here, P=1y2 and Q=1y3

Now, IF =e1y2dy=e1y

The solution of linear differential equation is

x(IF)(IF)dy+Cxe1/y=1y3e1/ydy+Cxe1/y=(t)etdt+C[ let 1y=t+1y2dy=dt]=tet+etdt+C [integration by parts] =tet+et+C

xe1/y=1ye1/y+e1/y+C

Now, at y=1, the value of x=1, so

1e1=e1+e1+CC=1e

On putting the value of C, in Eq. (i), we get

x=1y+1e1/ye

So, at y=2, the value of x=12+1e1/2e=321e
