Homogeneous Differential Equation – Substitution x=vy | JEE

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
The solution of the differential equation y2dx+(x2xy+y2)dy=0y^2\,dx + (x^2 - xy + y^2)\,dy = 0 is:
Atan1(xy)+lny+C=0\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right) + \ln y + C = 0correct
B2tan1(xy)+lnx+C=02\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right) + \ln x + C = 0
Cln(y+x2+y2)+lny+C=0\ln\left(y + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\right) + \ln y + C = 0
Dln(x+x2+y2)+C=0\ln\left(x + \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\right) + C = 0
Solution
Step 1: Treat xx as a function of yy:
dxdy+x2xy+y2y2=0dxdy+x2y2xy+1=0.\frac{dx}{dy} + \frac{x^2 - xy + y^2}{y^2} = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dy} + \frac{x^2}{y^2} - \frac{x}{y} + 1 = 0.
Step 2: Put x=vyx = vy, so dxdy=v+ydvdy\dfrac{dx}{dy} = v + y\dfrac{dv}{dy}:
v+ydvdy+v2v+1=0ydvdy=(1+v2)dv1+v2=dyy.v + y\frac{dv}{dy} + v^2 - v + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow y\frac{dv}{dy} = -(1 + v^2) \Rightarrow \frac{dv}{1+v^2} = -\frac{dy}{y}.
Step 3: Integrate:
tan1v=lny+(const)tan1(xy)+lny+C=0.\tan^{-1}v = -\ln y + (\text{const}) \Rightarrow \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) + \ln y + C = 0.
Correct answer: (1)
