The solution of differential equation $xdy - ydx = 0$ represents
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → straight line passing through origin ##
Given that, $xdy - ydx = 0$
$⇒xdy = ydx$
$⇒\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{dx}{x} \quad \text{[applying variable separable method]}$
On integrating both sides, we get
$\log y = \log x + \log C$
$⇒ \log y = \log Cx ⇒ y = Cx$
which is a straight line passing through origin.
