The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (A) : \(\frac{1}{2} exp ( \frac{π}{6} + \sqrt{e} - 1 )\)
\(\left( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{y²}{x²}}} + e^\frac{y}{x} \right) \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{y²}{x²}}} + e^\frac{y}{x} \right) \frac{y}{x}\)
Putting y = tx
\(\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - t²}} + e^t \right) \left( t + x \frac{dt}{dx} \right) = 1 + \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - t²}} + e^t \right)t\)
\(⇒ x ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - t²}} + e^t ) \frac{dt}{dx} = 1\)
⇒ sin–1t + et = lnx + C
\(⇒sin^{-1} ( \frac{y}{x} ) + e^\frac{y}{x} = In x + C\)
at x = 1, y = 0
So, 0 + e0 = 0 + CC = 1
at (2α, α)
\(sin^{-1} ( \frac{y}{x} ) + e^\frac{y}{x} = In x + 1\)
\(⇒ \frac{π}{6} + e^\frac{1}{2} - 1 = In (2α)\)
\(⇒ α = \frac{1}{2} e^{( \frac{π}{6} + e^\frac{1}{2} - 1 )}\)

Concepts Used:

Differential Equations

A differential equation is an equation that contains one or more functions with its derivatives. The derivatives of the function define the rate of change of a function at a point. It is mainly used in fields such as physics, engineering, biology and so on.

Orders of a Differential Equation

First Order Differential Equation

The first-order differential equation has a degree equal to 1. All the linear equations in the form of derivatives are in the first order. It has only the first derivative such as dy/dx, where x and y are the two variables and is represented as: dy/dx = f(x, y) = y’

Second-Order Differential Equation

The equation which includes second-order derivative is the second-order differential equation. It is represented as; d/dx(dy/dx) = d2y/dx2 = f”(x) = y”.

Types of Differential Equations

Differential equations can be divided into several types namely

  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Linear Differential Equations
  • Nonlinear differential equations
  • Homogeneous Differential Equations
  • Nonhomogeneous Differential Equations
