Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2022

Let $y=y(x)$ be the solution curve of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{x^{2}-1} y=\left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right)^{1 / 2}$, $x >1$ passing through the point $\left(2, \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}\right)$. Then $\sqrt{7}\, y(8)$ is equal to :

  1. A $11+6 \log _{e} 3$
  2. B 19
  3. C $12-2 \log _{\mathrm{e}} 3$
  4. D $19-6 \log _{\mathrm{e}} 3$ Correct answer
