Question:

Solution of the differential equation $y \log_e y\, dx-x\, dy = 0$ is (Where c is an arbitrary constant)

Options:

$|y|=|c\log_e(xy)|$

$|x| = |cy|$

$|x| = |c\log_e y|$

$|y| = |c\log_e x|$

Correct Answer:

$|x| = |c\log_e y|$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $|x| = |c\log_e y|$

$y \log_e y \, dx - x \, dy = 0$
 
$y \log_e y \, dx = x \, dy$
 
$\frac{dx}{x} = \frac{dy}{y \log_e y}$
 
$\int \frac{1}{x} \, dx = \int \frac{1}{y \log_e y} \, dy$
 
Left-Hand Side = $\int \frac{1}{x} \, dx = \log_e |x|$
 
Right-Hand Side :
 
To evaluate $\int \frac{1}{y \log_e y} \, dy$,
 
use the substitution method: Let $u = \log_e y$, which gives $du = \frac{1}{y} \, dy$.
 
$\int \frac{1}{u} \, du = \log_e |u| = \log_e |\log_e y|$
 
$\log_e |x| = \log_e |\log_e y| + \log_e |c_1|$
 
$\log_e |x| = \log_e |c_1 \log_e y|$
 
$|x| = |c_1 \log_e y|$
 
$|x| = |c \log_e y|$
