Question 1

The integrating factor of the differential equation dydx=y tan xy2 sec x is  

[MP PET 1995; Pb. CET 2002]

 

A.

tan x

B.

secx

C.

-sec x

D.

cot x

SOLUTION

Solution : B

The differential equation
is dydxy tan x=y2 sec xI.F.=e tan x dx
This is Bernoulli's equation i.e. reducible to 
linear equation.
Dividing the equation by y2, we get
1y2dydx1y tan x=sec x............(i)
Put 1y=y1y2dydx=dYdx
Equation (i) reduces to dydx=y tan x=sec xdYdx+Y tan x=sec x, Which is a linear equation
Hence I.F.=e tan x dx=sec x.
 

Question 2

The orthogonal trajectories of the family of curves an1y=xn are given by

A. xn+n2y= constant
B. ny2+x2= constant
C. n2x+yn= constant
D. n2xyn= constant

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Differentiating, we have an1dydx=nxn1an1=nxn1dxdy
Putting this value in the given equation, we havenxn1dxdyy=xn
Replacing dydx by dxdy we have ny=xdxdy
nydy+xdx=0ny2+x2= constant. Which is the required family of orthogonal trajectories.

Question 3

The order of the differential equation whose general solution is given by y=C1e2x+C2+C3ex+C4sin(x+C5) is 

A. 5
B. 4
C. 3
D. 2

SOLUTION

Solution : B

y=C1e2x+C2+C3ex+C4sin(x+C5)=C1.eC2e2x+C3ex+C4(sin x cos C5+cos x sin C5)=Ae2x+C3ex+B sin x+D cos x
Here, A=C1eC2,B=C4cosC5,D=C4sinC5
(Since equation consists of four arbitrary constants)
order of differential equation = 4.

Question 4

A. 1,2
B. 3,2
C. 2,3
D. 2,1

SOLUTION

Solution : A

Equation of family of parabolas with x-axis as axis is y2=4a(x+α) where a,α are two arbitrary constants. So differential equation is of order 2 and degree 1.

B. y1(x)r(x)y1(x)dx
C. r(x)y1(x)dx
D. None of these

SOLUTION

dydxf(x).y=0dyy=f(x)dx
ln y=f(x)dx
y1(x)=ef(x)dx Then for given equation I.F = ef(x)dx
Hence Solution y.y1(x)=r(x).y1(x)dx
y=1y1(x)r(x).y1(x)dx

Question 10

The curves satisfying the differential equation (1x2)y1+xy=ax are

A. ellipses and hyperbolas
B. ellipses and parabola
C. ellipses and straight lines
D. circles and ellipses

SOLUTION

Solution : A

The given equation is linear DE  and can be written as
dydx+x1x2y=ax1x2
Its integrating factor is ex1x2dx=e(12)log(1x2)=11x21<x<1 and ifx2>1 then I.F.=1x21
ddx(y11x2)=ax(1x2)32=12a2x(1x2)32
y11x2=a1x2+Cy=a+C1x2
(ya)2=C2(1x2)(ya)2+C2x2=C2
Thus if -1 < x < 1 the given equation represents an ellipse. If x2>1 then the solution is of the form (ya)2+C2x2=C2 which represents a hyperbola.
