The differential equation of the family of parabolas having vertex at the origin and the y-axis as the axis of symmetry, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The equation of the family of parabolas having vertex at the origin and the y-axis as the axis of symmetry is
$y=a x^2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=2 a x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 y}{x}$ [∵ $y=a x^2 \Rightarrow a=y / x^2$]
$\Rightarrow x y_1-2 y=0$
This is the required differential equation.
