JEE Main 2022Differential Equations Question with Solution

JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 1)

Question

If the solution curve y=yx of the differential equation y2 dx+x2-xy+y2dy=0, which passes through the point 1,1 and intersects the line y=3x at the point α,3α, then value of loge3α is equal to

Correct answer
Dπ12

Step-by-step explanation

Given y2dx+x2-xy+y2dy=0

  dxdy=-x2-xy+y2y2     ...i

Now let x=vy  v+ydvdy=dxdy

Now putting in equation i we get

v+ydvdy=-v2-v+1

  ydvdy=-v2-1

-dv1+v2=dyy 

Now Integrating Both side

-dy1+v2=dyy

-tan-1v=logy+c -tan-1xy=logy+c

Also  this curve passes through 1,1 

 tan-11=log1+c   c=-π4

-tan-1xy=logy-π4

Now putting y=3x and x=α we get

=-tan-1x3x=log3α-π4 =-tan-113=log3α-π4

=-π6+π4=log3α

  log3α=π12
