The given differential equation is,

x cos (yx) dydx = y cos (yx) + x          ... (i)

Put y = vx    dydx = v + x dvdx

   (i) becomes,

x cos v (v + x dvdx) = vx·cos v + x    x dvdx = sec v

  cos vdv = dxx    sin v = log|x| + c

  sin yx = log |x| + c

Now, y(1) = π3    sin π3 = c    c = 32

So, the solution of given differential equation is,

sin (yx) = log |x| + 32

On comparing with given solution, we get

α = 3    α2 = 3.
