Question:

Solution of differential equation $x dy-y dx=0$ represents :

Options:

family of straight lines passing through origin

family of parabolas whose vertex is at origin

family of circles whose centre is at origin

family of straight lines passing through (1, 1)

Correct Answer:

family of straight lines passing through origin

Explanation:

$x d y-y d x=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x d y-y d x}{y^2}=0$   (integrating both sides) 

we get $\int \frac{x d y-y d x}{y^2}=\int 0$    

as $d(\frac{x}{y})$

$\frac{x d y-y d x}{y^2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \int d(\frac{x}{y})=\int 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}=c$

or  $y=k x$
