Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

If y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation, ${e^y}\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}} - 1} \right) = {e^x}$ such that y(0) = 0, then y(1) is equal to:

  1. A 2 + log<sub>e</sub>2
  2. B log<sub>e</sub>2
  3. C 1 + log<sub>e</sub>2 Correct answer
  4. D 2e

Solution

Given, ${e^y}\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}} - 1} \right) = {e^x}$ <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ ${e^y}{{dy} \over {dx}} - {e^y} = {e^x}$ ....(1) <br><br>Let ${e^y} = t$ $\Rightarrow$ ${e^y}{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{dt} \over {dx}}$ <br><br>$\therefore$ ${{dt} \over {dx}} - t = {e^x}$ <br><br>So here p = -1 and q = e<sup>x</sup> <br><br>We know, IF = ${e^{\int {pdx} }}$ <br><br>= ${e^{\int { - 1dx} }}$ = ${e^{ - x}}$ <br><br>$\therefore$ t.${e^{ - x}}$ = $\int {{e^x}.{e^{ - x}}dx}$ <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ t.${e^{ - x}}$ = x + c <br><br>Putting value of t, we get <br><br>${e^y}{e^{ - x}}$ = x + c <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ ${e^{y - x}} = x + c$ .....(2) <br><br>Given y(0) = 0 means y = 0 when x = 0. <br><br>Putting in equation (2), we get <br><br>e<sup>0</sup> = 0 + c <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ c = 1 <br><br>$\therefore$ ${e^{y - x}} = x + 1$ ....(3) <br><br>Now we have to find y(1), which means when x = 1 find the value of y in the above equation. <br><br>Putting x = 1 in equation (3) <br><br>${e^{y - 1}} = 1 + 1$ <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ y - 1 = log<sub>e</sub>2 <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ y = 1 + log<sub>e</sub>2
