Q.

Suppose the solution of the differential equation dydx=(2 + α)x - βy + 2βx - 2αy - (βγ - 4α) represents a circle passing through origin. Then the radius of this circle is:        [2024]

1 2  
2 12  
3 17  
4 172  

Ans.

(4)

We have, dydx = (2 + α)x - βy + 2βx - 2αy - (βγ - 4α)

  βxdy - 2αydy - (βγ - 4α) dy = 2xdx + αxdx - βydx + 2dx

On integrating, we get

βxdy + βydx - αy2 - (βγ - 4α) y = x2 + αx22 + 2x + c

βxy - αy2 - (βγ - 4α) y = x2(1 + α2) + 2x + c

  (1 + α2) x2 + αy2 - βxy + 2x + (βγ - 4α) y + c = 0

Since, it represents a circle which is passing through origin, then

1 + α2 = α, β = 0  and  c = 0            [  coeff. of x2 = coeff. of y2coeff. of xy = 0          ]

  α = 2

Equation of circle is given by

2x2 + 2y2 + 2x - 8y = 0      x2 + y2 + x - 4y = 0

  Centre  (- 12, 2)

  Radius = (12)2 + (2)2 - 0 = 172
