JEE Main 2020Differential Equations Question with Solution

From: JEE Main 2020 (Online) 5th September Evening Slot

Question

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation

cosx + 2ysinx = sin2x, x .

If y = 0, then y is equal to :

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
B

Step-by-step explanation

cosx + 2ysinx = sin2x



I.F = = sec2 x

y.sec2 x =

ysec2x =

ysec2x = 2secx + c

Given at x = , y = 0

0 =

c = -4

ysec2x = 2secx - 4

Here put x =

y.2 = - 4

y =
