Hard MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation

${{dy} \over {dx}} = (y + 1)\left( {(y + 1){e^{{x^2}/2}} - x} \right)$, 0 < x < 2.1, with y(2) = 0. Then the value of ${{dy} \over {dx}}$ at x = 1 is equal to :

  1. A ${{{e^{5/2}}} \over {{{(1 + {e^2})}^2}}}$
  2. B ${{5{e^{1/2}}} \over {{{({e^2} + 1)}^2}}}$
  3. C $- {{2{e^2}} \over {{{(1 + {e^2})}^2}}}$
  4. D ${{ - {e^{3/2}}} \over {{{({e^2} + 1)}^2}}}$ Correct answer
