JEE Main 2025 (22 Jan Shift 1)
Question
Let be the solution of the differential equation . If , then is :
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& y^2 d x+\left(x-\frac{1}{y}\right) d y=0 \\
& y^2 d x=\left(\frac{1}{y}-x\right) d y \\
& \Rightarrow y^2 \frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{1}{y}-x \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y}+\frac{x}{y^2}=\frac{1}{y^3} \\
& \text { I.F. }=e^{\int \frac{1}{y^2} d y}=e^{\frac{-1}{y}}
\end{aligned}$
Solution is
Let
$\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y^2} d y=d t \\
& \Rightarrow x e^{-\frac{1}{y}}=-\int e^t t d t+C \\
& \Rightarrow x e^{-\frac{1}{y}}=-e^t(t-1)+C \\
& \Rightarrow x e^{-\frac{1}{y}}=-e^{\frac{-1}{y}}\left(\frac{-1}{y}-1\right)+C
\end{aligned}$
