Q.

Let y=y(x) be the solution of the differential equation  x3 dy+(xy-1)dx=0, x>0, y(12)=3-e.1 Then y(1) is equal to          [2023]

1 2-e  
2 e  
3 1  
4 3  

Ans.

(3)

Given: x3dy+(xy-1)dx=0

⇒x3dy=(1-xy)dx

⇒dydx=1-xyx3⇒dydx+yx2=1x3, which is a linear differential equation.

Now, (I.F.) =e∫P dx=e∫1x2 dx=e-1/x

Solution is given by, ye-1/x=∫1x3e-1/xdx+C

Putting u=-1x ⇒ du=1x2dx, we get

ye-1/x=∫-euudu+c=-[ueu-∫eu du]+c

     =-[ueu-eu]+c=(1-u)eu+c

⇒  ye-1/x=(1+1x)e-1/x+c                           ...(i)

Put x=12 and y=3-e

3e-2-e-1=3e-2+c  ⇒  c=-e-1

Equation (i) becomes,  ye-1/x=e-1/x+e-1/xx-e-1

Put x=1 to get y(1),

⇒ye-1=e-1+e-1-e-1=e-1 ⇒ y=1
