    The solution of the differential equation \[{{x}^{2}}\frac{dy}{dx}={{x}^{2}}+xy+{{y}^{2}}\] is

    A)                 \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)=\log x+c\]       

    B)                 \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)=-\log x+c\]

    C)                 \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)=\log x+c\]        

    D)                 \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x}{y} \right)=\log x+c\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       It is homogeneous equation which can be written in the form \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+xy+{{y}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}\]        Now put \[y=vx\]and \[\frac{dy}{dx}=v+x\frac{dv}{dx}\]        Therefore, \[v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+v{{x}^{2}}+{{v}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}}=1+v+{{v}^{2}}\]        Þ \[x\frac{dv}{dx}=1+{{v}^{2}}\]        Þ \[\frac{dv}{1+{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{dx}{x}\]        Now integrating both sides, we get \[{{\tan }^{-1}}v=\log x+c\]                                 Þ \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{y}{x} \right)=\log x+c\]   \[\{\because \,\,y=vx\Rightarrow v=y/x\}\]
