The particular solution of the differential equation [xsin⁡2(yx)−y]dx+xdy=0\left[x \sin^2\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) - y\right]dx + xdy = 0, y=π4y = \frac{\pi}{4} when x=1x = 1 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The differential equation is:

[xsin⁡2(yx)−y]dx+x dy=0\left[x \sin^2\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) - y\right]dx + x\,dy = 0

Rearranging:

xsin⁡2(yx) dx+(x dy−y dx)=0x \sin^2\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\,dx + (x\,dy - y\,dx) = 0

Since d(yx)=x dy−y dxx2d\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = \frac{x\,dy - y\,dx}{x^2}, we have x dy−y dx=x2 d(yx)x\,dy - y\,dx = x^2\,d\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)

xsin⁡2(yx) dx+x2 d(yx)=0x \sin^2\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\,dx + x^2\,d\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 0


Dividing by x2x^2:

sin⁡2(yx)x dx+d(yx)=0\frac{\sin^2\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)}{x}\,dx + d\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) = 0

Let v=yxv = \dfrac{y}{x}:

sin⁡2(v)x dx+dv=0\frac{\sin^2(v)}{x}\,dx + dv = 0


Dividing by sin⁡2(v)\sin^2(v):

dxx+csc⁡2(v) dv=0\frac{dx}{x} + \csc^2(v)\,dv = 0

Integrating:

∫dxx+∫csc⁡2(v) dv=C\displaystyle\int \frac{dx}{x} + \int \csc^2(v)\,dv = C

ln⁡∣x∣−cot⁡(v)=C\ln|x| - \cot(v) = C

ln⁡∣x∣−cot⁡(yx)=C\ln|x| - \cot\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right) = C


Applying y=π4y = \dfrac{\pi}{4} when x=1x = 1:

ln⁡(1)−cot⁡(π/41)=C\ln(1) - \cot\left(\dfrac{\pi/4}{1}\right) = C

0−1=C0 - 1 = C

C=−1C = -1


The particular solution is:

ln⁡x−cot⁡(yx)=−1\ln x - \cot\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right) = -1

ln⁡x=cot⁡(yx)−1\ln x = \cot\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right) - 1

x=ecot⁡(yx)−1x = e^{\cot\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) - 1}
