Hard INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let the solution curve $x=x(y), 0 < y < \frac{\pi}{2}$, of the differential equation $$\left(\log _{e}(\cos y)\right)^{2} \cos y \mathrm{~d} x-\left(1+3 x \log _{e}(\cos y)\right) \sin \mathrm{y} d y=0$$ satisfy $x\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\frac{1}{2 \log _{e} 2}$. If $x\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{1}{\log _{e} m-\log _{e} n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime, then $m n$ is equal to __________.

Answer (integer) 12

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & (\cos y)(\ln (\cos y))^2 d x=(1+3 x \ln \cos y) \sin y d y \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{(1+3 x \ln \cos y) \sin y}{(\ln \cos y)^2 \cos y} \\\\ & =\tan y\left[\frac{1}{(\ln \cos y)^2}+\frac{3 x}{\ln \cos y}\right] \\\\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y}-\left(\frac{3 \tan y}{\ln \cos y}\right) x=\frac{\tan y}{(\ln \cos y)^2} \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>Which is a linear differential equation. <br/><br/>$\text { I.F. }=e^{-\int \frac{3 \tan y}{\ln \cos y} d y}=(\ln \cos y)^3$ <br/><br/>So, the solution is : <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & x \times(\ln \cos y)^3=\int\left((\ln \cos y)^3 \times \frac{\tan y}{(\ln \cos y)^2}\right) d y \\\\ & x \times(\ln \cos y)^3=\frac{-(\ln \cos y)^2}{2}+C \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>$\text { At } y=\frac{\pi}{3} \text {, }$ <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{2 \ln 2} \times\left(\ln \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right)^3=-\frac{\left(\ln \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right)^2}{2}+C \\\\ & \Rightarrow C=0 \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & \text { So, } x \times \ln ^3 \cos y=\frac{-\ln ^2 \cos y}{2} \\\\ & \text { At } y=\frac{\pi}{6}, x \times\left(\ln \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\right)^3=-\frac{1}{2}\left(\ln \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\right)^2 \\\\ & \Rightarrow x=-\frac{1}{2 \ln \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)} \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & =-\frac{1}{2[\ln \sqrt{3}-\ln 2]}=\frac{-1}{2\left[\frac{1}{2} \ln 3-\ln 2\right]} \\\\ & =\frac{-1}{2\left[\frac{\ln 3-\ln 4}{2}\right]}=\frac{1}{\ln 4-\ln 3} \\\\ & \Rightarrow m=4, n=3 \\\\ & \Rightarrow m n=12 \end{aligned} $$
