Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (a)

Solution:

  1. We know that, slope of the tangent at any point (x,y) on the curve is

dydx=x22yxdydx+2xy=x

which is a linear differential equation of the form dydx+P(x)y=Q(x)

where

P(x)=2x and Q(x)=x

Now, integrating factor

 (IF) =eP(x)dx=e2xdx=e2logex=elogex2[mloga=logam]=x2[elogef(x)=f(x)]

and the solution of differential Eq. (i) is

y(IF)=Q(x)(IF)dx+Cy(x2)=xx2dx+Cyx2=x44+C

The curve (ii) passes through the point (1,2), therefore

2=14+CC=94

Equation of required curve is 4yx2=x49.

Now, checking all the option, we get only (3,0) satisfy the above equation.
