Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

Let y = y(x) be a solution curve of the differential equation $(y + 1){\tan ^2}x\,dx + \tan x\,dy + y\,dx = 0$, $x \in \left( {0,{\pi \over 2}} \right)$. If $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0 + } xy(x) = 1$, then the value of $y\left( {{\pi \over 4}} \right)$ is :

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

Solution

$(y + 1){\tan ^2}x\,dx + \tan x\,dy + y\,dx = 0$<br><br>or ${{dy} \over {dx}} + {{{{\sec }^2}x} \over {\tan x}}.y = - \tan x$<br><br>$IF = {e^{\int {{{{{\sec }^2}x} \over {\tan x}}dx} }} = {e^{\ln \tan x}} = \tan x$<br><br>$\therefore$ $y\tan x = - \int {{{\tan }^2}x\,dx}$<br><br>or $y\tan x = - \tan x + x + C$<br><br>or $y = - 1 + {x \over {\tan x}} + {C \over {\tan x}}$<br><br>or $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} xy = - x + {{{x^2}} \over {\tan x}} + {{Cx} \over {\tan x}} = 1$$<br><br>or C = 1<br><br>$y(x) = \cot x + x\cot x - 1$<br><br>$y\left( {{\pi \over 4}} \right) = {\pi \over 4}$
