Hard MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let $y = y(x)$ be the solution curve of the differential equation $${{dy} \over {dx}} = {y \over x}\left( {1 + x{y^2}(1 + {{\log }_e}x)} \right),x > 0,y(1) = 3$$. Then ${{{y^2}(x)} \over 9}$ is equal to :

  1. A ${{{x^2}} \over {5 - 2{x^3}(2 + {{\log }_e}{x^3})}}$ Correct answer
  2. B ${{{x^2}} \over {3{x^3}(1 + {{\log }_e}{x^2}) - 2}}$
  3. C ${{{x^2}} \over {7 - 3{x^3}(2 + {{\log }_e}{x^2})}}$
  4. D ${{{x^2}} \over {2{x^3}(2 + {{\log }_e}{x^3}) - 3}}$

Solution

$$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{y}{x}=y^3\left(1+\log _e x\right) \\\\ & \frac{1}{y^3} \frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{1}{x y^2}=1+\log _e x \\\\ & \text { Let }-\frac{1}{y^2}=t \Rightarrow \frac{2}{y^3} \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d t}{d x} \\\\ & \therefore \frac{d t}{d x}+\frac{2 t}{x}=2\left(1+\log _e x\right) \\\\ & \text { I.F. }=e^{\int \frac{2}{x} d x}=x^2 \\\\ & \frac{-x^2}{y^2}=\frac{2}{3}\left(\left(1+\log _e x\right) x^3-\frac{x^3}{3}\right)+C \\\\ & y(1)=3 \\\\ & \frac{y^2}{9}=\frac{C}{5-2 x^3\left(2+\log _e x^3\right)} \end{aligned} $$
