    The solution of the differential equation \[(3xy+{{y}^{2}})dx+({{x}^{2}}+xy)dy=0\] is [AISSE 1990]

    A)                 \[{{x}^{2}}(2xy+{{y}^{2}})={{c}^{2}}\]              

    B)                 \[{{x}^{2}}(2xy-{{y}^{2}})={{c}^{2}}\]

    C)                 \[{{x}^{2}}({{y}^{2}}-2xy)={{c}^{2}}\]

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       It can be written in the form of homogeneous equation \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3xy+{{y}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}+xy}\]         So, now put \[y=vx\]and \[\frac{dy}{dx}=v+x\frac{dv}{dx},\]we get         \[v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=-\frac{3{{x}^{2}}v+{{x}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}v}\]Þ\[x\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{-2v(v+2)}{v+1}\]         Þ \[\frac{1}{x}dx=-\frac{v+1}{2v(v+2)}dv=-\left[ \frac{1}{2(v+2)}+\frac{1}{2v(v+2)} \right]\,dv\]         Þ \[-\frac{2}{x}dx=\left[ \frac{1}{v+2}+\frac{1}{2v}-\frac{1}{2v(v+2)} \right]\]         On integrating, we get         \[-2{{\log }_{e}}x=\frac{1}{2}\log (v+2)+\frac{1}{2}\log v+\log c\]         Þ \[v(v+2){{x}^{4}}={{c}^{2}}\] Þ \[\frac{y}{x}\left( \frac{y}{x}+2 \right){{x}^{4}}={{c}^{2}}\],  \[\left( \because v=\frac{y}{x} \right)\]                 Hence required solution is \[({{y}^{2}}+2xy){{x}^{2}}={{c}^{2}}\].
