    The general solution of the differential equation \[(x+y)dx+xdy=0\] is        [MP PET 1994, 95]

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

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

    C)                 \[{{x}^{2}}+2xy=c\]       

    D)                 \[{{y}^{2}}+2xy=c\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[(x+y)dx+xdy=0\] Þ \[xdy=-(x+y)dx\]                    Þ \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x+y}{x}\]                    It is homogenous equation, hence put \[y=vx\] and \[\frac{dy}{dx}=v+x\frac{dv}{dx},\] we get \[v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=-\frac{x+vx}{x}=-\frac{1+v}{1}\]                    Þ \[x\frac{dv}{dx}=-1-2v\]Þ \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dv}{1+2v}}=-\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{x}}\]                    Þ \[\frac{1}{2}\log (1+2v)=-\log x+\log c\]Þ \[\log \left( 1+2\frac{y}{x} \right)=2\log \frac{c}{x}\]                                 Þ \[\frac{x+2y}{x}={{\left( \frac{c}{x} \right)}^{2}}\]Þ\[{{x}^{2}}+2xy=c\].
