    The solution of the equation \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y}{x}\left( \log \frac{y}{x}+1 \right)\] is

    A)                 \[\log \left( \frac{y}{x} \right)=cx\]      

    B)                 \[\frac{y}{x}=\log y+c\]

    C)                 \[y=\log y+1\]      

    D)                 \[y=xy+c\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Given \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y}{x}\left( \log \frac{y}{x}+1 \right)\].        Put \[y=vx\]Þ \[\frac{dy}{dx}=v+x.\frac{dv}{dx}\]        \[\therefore v+x.\frac{dv}{dx}=v(\log v+1)\]        \[v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=v\log v+v\] Þ \[x\frac{dv}{dx}=v\log v\]Þ \[\frac{dv}{v\log v}=\frac{dx}{x}\]        Integrating both sides, \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dv}{v\log v}}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{x}}\]                                 \[\log \log v=\log x+\log c\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\log v=xc\]Þ\[\log (y/x)=\,x\,c\].
