Hard INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2025

If $y=y(x)$ is the solution of the differential equation, $\sqrt{4-x^2} \frac{\mathrm{~d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\left(\left(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right)^2-y\right) \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right),-2 \leq x \leq 2, y(2)=\frac{\pi^2-8}{4}$, then $y^2(0)$ is equal to ___________.

Answer (integer) 4

Solution

<p>$$\begin{aligned} & \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{\left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{4-x^2}} y=\frac{\left(\sin ^{-3} \frac{x}{2}\right)^3}{\sqrt{4-x^2}} \\ & y e^{\frac{\left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right)^2}{2}}=\int \frac{\left(\sin ^{-3} \frac{x}{2}\right)^3}{4-x^2} e^{\frac{\left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right)^2}{2}} d x \\ & y=\left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right)^2-2+c \cdot e^{\frac{-\left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{2}\right)^2}{2}} \\ & y(2)=\frac{\pi^2}{4}-2 \Rightarrow c=0 \\ & y(0)=-2 \end{aligned}$$</p>
