Correct answer
D4ϕ1

Step-by-step explanation

Given:yxdydx=y2x2+ϕy2x2ϕ'y2x2 ....1 

Let yx=t

y=xt

dydx=t+x·dtdx

tt+xdtdx=t2+ϕt2ϕ't2

xtdtdx=ϕt2ϕ't2

t·ϕ't2ϕt2dt=1xdx
Integrating both sides

t·ϕ't2ϕt2dt=1xdx

Let ϕt2=p

ϕ't2.2t=dp

121pdp=1xdx

12lnp=lnx+C

12lnϕt2=lnx+C

12lnϕy2x2=lnx+C ...2

If x=1, y=-1 then C=12lnϕ1

Substituting value of C in 2

12lnϕy2x2=lnx+12lnϕ1

lnϕy2x2=lnx2+lnϕ1

If x=2 then 

lnϕy24=ln4+lnϕ1

SO, ϕy24=4ϕ1
