Solution of the differential equation ylog⁡eydx−xdy=0y\log_e y dx - x dy = 0 is (Where c is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The differential equation is ylog⁡ey dx−x dy=0y\log_e y \, dx - x \, dy = 0

Rearranging:

ylog⁡ey dx=x dyy\log_e y \, dx = x \, dy

dxx=dyylog⁡ey\frac{dx}{x} = \frac{dy}{y\log_e y}


Integrating both sides:

∫dxx=∫dyylog⁡ey\int \frac{dx}{x} = \int \frac{dy}{y\log_e y}

The left side gives:

∫dxx=log⁡e∣x∣+c1\int \frac{dx}{x} = \log_e |x| + c_1


For the right side, let u=log⁡eyu = \log_e y

Then du=dyydu = \frac{dy}{y}

∫dyylog⁡ey=∫1u du\int \frac{dy}{y\log_e y} = \int \frac{1}{u} \, du

=log⁡e∣u∣+c2= \log_e |u| + c_2

=log⁡e∣log⁡ey∣+c2= \log_e |\log_e y| + c_2


Combining the results:

log⁡e∣x∣=log⁡e∣log⁡ey∣+C\log_e |x| = \log_e |\log_e y| + C

where C=c2−c1C = c_2 - c_1

log⁡e∣x∣−log⁡e∣log⁡ey∣=C\log_e |x| - \log_e |\log_e y| = C

log⁡e(∣x∣∣log⁡ey∣)=C\log_e \left(\frac{|x|}{|\log_e y|}\right) = C


Taking exponential of both sides:

∣x∣∣log⁡ey∣=eC\frac{|x|}{|\log_e y|} = e^C

Let eC=∣c∣e^C = |c| where cc is an arbitrary constant:

∣x∣∣log⁡ey∣=∣c∣\frac{|x|}{|\log_e y|} = |c|

∣x∣=∣clog⁡ey∣|x| = |c\log_e y|

Therefore, the solution is ∣x∣=∣clog⁡ey∣|x| = |c\log_e y|
