Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (b)

Solution:

  1. Given differential equation is

(x2y2)dx+2xydy=0, which can be written as

dydx=y2x22xy

Put y=vx[ it is in homogeneous form ]

dydx=v+xdvdx

Now, differential equation becomes

v+xdvdx=v2x2x22x(vx)v+xdvdx=(v21)x22vx2xdvdx=v212vv=v212v22vxdvdx=1+v22v2vdv1+v2=dxx

ln(1+v2)=lnxlnC

f(x)f(x)dxln|f(x)|+Cln|(1+v2)Cx|=0[lnA+lnB=lnAB](1+v2)Cx=1[logex=0x=e0=1]

Now, putting v=yx, we get

1+y2x2Cx=1C(x2+y2)=x

The curve passes through (1,1), so

C(1+1)=1C=12

Thus, required curve is x2+y22x=0, which represent a circle having centre (1,0)

The solution of given differential equation represents a circle with centre on the X-axis.
