Question:

The solution of the differential equation $y\, dx + (x+ x^2 y ) dy = 0,$ is

Options:

$log\, y = C\, x$

$-\frac{1}{xy}+log\, y = C$

$\frac{1}{xy}+log\, y = C$

$-\frac{1}{xy}=C$

Correct Answer:

$-\frac{1}{xy}+log\, y = C$

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (2) : $-\frac{1}{xy}+log\, y = C$

We have,

$ydx+(x+x^2 y)dy=0$

$⇒y\, dx + x\, dy + x^2 y\, dy = 0 $

$⇒\frac{d(xy)}{(xy)^2}+\frac{1}{y}dy = 0 $  [Dividing throughout by $(xy)^2 $]

On integrating, we get $-\frac{1}{xy}+\log \, y = C$
