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

If ${{dy} \over {dx}} + 2y\tan x = \sin x,\,0 < x < {\pi \over 2}$ and $y\left( {{\pi \over 3}} \right) = 0$, then the maximum value of $y(x)$ is :

  1. A ${1 \over 8}$ Correct answer
  2. B ${3 \over 4}$
  3. C ${1 \over 4}$
  4. D ${3 \over 8}$

Solution

<p>${{dy} \over {dx}} + 2y\tan x = \sin x$</p> <p>which is a first order linear differential equation.</p> <p>Integrating factor (I. F.) $= {e^{\int {2\tan x\,dx} }}$</p> <p>$= {e^{2\ln |\sec x|}} = {\sec ^2}x$</p> <p>Solution of differential equation can be written as</p> <p>$$y\,.\,{\sec ^2}x = \int {\sin x\,.\,{{\sec }^2}x\,dx = \int {\sec \,x\,.\,\tan x\,dx} } $$</p> <p>$y~{\sec ^2}x = \sec x + C$</p> <p>$$y\left( {{\pi \over 3}} \right) = 0,0 = \sec {\pi \over 3} + C \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,C = - 2$$</p> <p>$y = {{\sec x - 2} \over {{{\sec }^2}x}} = \cos x - 2{\cos ^2}x$</p> <p>$= {1 \over 8} - 2{\left( {\cos x - {1 \over 4}} \right)^2}$</p> <p>${y_{\max }} = {1 \over 8}$</p>
