Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation

cosx${{dy} \over {dx}}$ + 2ysinx = sin2x, x $\in$ $\left( {0,{\pi \over 2}} \right)$.

If y$\left( {{\pi \over 3}} \right)$ = 0, then y$\left( {{\pi \over 4}} \right)$ is equal to :

  1. A ${1 \over {\sqrt 2 }} - 1$
  2. B ${\sqrt 2 - 2}$ Correct answer
  3. C ${2 - \sqrt 2 }$
  4. D ${2 + \sqrt 2 }$
