Question:

Solution of differential equation xdy – ydx = 0 represents

Options:

a rectangular hyperbola

straight line passing through origin

parabola whose vertex is at origin

circle whose centre is at origin

Correct Answer:

straight line passing through origin

Explanation:

$x d y-y dx=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{y}-\frac{d x}{x}=0 $

⇒ log y log x = log c

$\Rightarrow \log \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log c$

$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{x}=c$ or y = cx which is a straight line.

Hence (2) is the correct answer.
