Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

For any linear first-order differential equation in the form:

dydx+P(x)⋅y=Q(x)\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x) \cdot y = Q(x)

The Integrating Factor is:

I.F.=e∫P(x)dxI.F. = e^{\int P(x)dx}

If the equation isn't in this standard form, divide the entire equation by the coefficient of dydx\frac{dy}{dx} first.


(A) dydx+2xy=1\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = 1

The equation is already in standard form.

P(x)=2xP(x) = 2x

I.F.=e∫2x dxI.F. = e^{\int 2x \, dx}

I.F.=ex2I.F. = e^{x^2}

Match: (A) → (IV)


(B) xdydx+2xy=1x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2xy = 1

The coefficient of dydx\frac{dy}{dx} is xx. Dividing the entire equation by xx:

dydx+2y=1x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = \frac{1}{x}

P(x)=2P(x) = 2

I.F.=e∫2 dxI.F. = e^{\int 2 \, dx}

I.F.=e2xI.F. = e^{2x}

Match: (B) → (II)


(C) xdydx+y=1x\frac{dy}{dx} + y = 1

Dividing the entire equation by xx:

dydx+yx=1x\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{x} = \frac{1}{x}

P(x)=1xP(x) = \frac{1}{x}

I.F.=e∫1x dxI.F. = e^{\int \frac{1}{x} \, dx}

I.F.=eln⁡xI.F. = e^{\ln x}

I.F.=xI.F. = x

Match: (C) → (I)


(D) xdydx+2y=2x\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = 2

Dividing the entire equation by xx:

dydx+2yx=2x\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{2y}{x} = \frac{2}{x}

P(x)=2xP(x) = \frac{2}{x}

I.F.=e∫2x dxI.F. = e^{\int \frac{2}{x} \, dx}

I.F.=e2ln⁡xI.F. = e^{2\ln x}

I.F.=eln⁡x2I.F. = e^{\ln x^2}

I.F.=x2I.F. = x^2

Match: (D) → (III)
