Correct answer: C

  1. Given equation

We are given, for x∈R, x≠0x \in \mathbb{R},\ x\neq 0x∈R, x=0,

x∫1xy(t) dt=(x+1)∫1xt y(t) dt.x\int_1^x y(t)\,dt=(x+1)\int_1^x t\,y(t)\,dt.x∫1x​y(t)dt=(x+1)∫1x​ty(t)dt.

Let

I(x)=∫1xy(t) dt,J(x)=∫1xt y(t) dt.I(x)=\int_1^x y(t)\,dt, \qquad J(x)=\int_1^x t\,y(t)\,dt.I(x)=∫1x​y(t)dt,J(x)=∫1x​ty(t)dt.

Then the relation becomes

xI(x)=(x+1)J(x).xI(x)=(x+1)J(x).xI(x)=(x+1)J(x).

We need to find y(x)y(x)y(x).


  1. Differentiate the given relation

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,

I′(x)=y(x),J′(x)=xy(x).I'(x)=y(x), \qquad J'(x)=x y(x).I′(x)=y(x),J′(x)=xy(x).

Differentiate

xI(x)=(x+1)J(x):xI(x)=(x+1)J(x):xI(x)=(x+1)J(x):

I(x)+xI′(x)=J(x)+(x+1)J′(x).I(x)+xI'(x)=J(x)+(x+1)J'(x).I(x)+xI′(x)=J(x)+(x+1)J′(x).

Substitute I′(x)=y(x)I'(x)=y(x)I′(x)=y(x) and J′(x)=xy(x)J'(x)=xy(x)J′(x)=xy(x):

I(x)+xy(x)=J(x)+(x+1)xy(x).I(x)+xy(x)=J(x)+(x+1)xy(x).I(x)+xy(x)=J(x)+(x+1)xy(x).

So,

I(x)−J(x)=x2y(x).I(x)-J(x)=x^2 y(x).I(x)−J(x)=x2y(x).


  1. Use the original equation to eliminate J(x)J(x)J(x)

From

xI(x)=(x+1)J(x),xI(x)=(x+1)J(x),xI(x)=(x+1)J(x),

we get

J(x)=xx+1I(x).J(x)=\frac{x}{x+1}I(x).J(x)=x+1x​I(x).

Hence,

I(x)−J(x)=I(x)−xx+1I(x)=1x+1I(x).I(x)-J(x)=I(x)-\frac{x}{x+1}I(x)=\frac{1}{x+1}I(x).I(x)−J(x)=I(x)−x+1x​I(x)=x+11​I(x).

But from Step 2,

I(x)−J(x)=x2y(x).I(x)-J(x)=x^2 y(x).I(x)−J(x)=x2y(x).

Therefore,

1x+1I(x)=x2y(x),\frac{1}{x+1}I(x)=x^2 y(x),x+11​I(x)=x2y(x),

or

I(x)=x2(x+1)y(x).I(x)=x^2(x+1)y(x).I(x)=x2(x+1)y(x).

Since I(x)=∫1xy(t)dtI(x)=\int_1^x y(t)dtI(x)=∫1x​y(t)dt, differentiate again:

I′(x)=y(x)=ddx(x2(x+1)y(x)).I'(x)=y(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\big(x^2(x+1)y(x)\big).I′(x)=y(x)=dxd​(x2(x+1)y(x)).

Now,

x2(x+1)=x3+x2,x^2(x+1)=x^3+x^2,x2(x+1)=x3+x2,

so

ddx((x3+x2)y)=(3x2+2x)y+(x3+x2)y′.\frac{d}{dx}\big((x^3+x^2)y\big)=(3x^2+2x)y+(x^3+x^2)y'.dxd​((x3+x2)y)=(3x2+2x)y+(x3+x2)y′.

Thus,

y=(3x2+2x)y+(x3+x2)y′.y=(3x^2+2x)y+(x^3+x^2)y'.y=(3x2+2x)y+(x3+x2)y′.

Rearrange:

(x3+x2)y′+(3x2+2x−1)y=0.(x^3+x^2)y'+(3x^2+2x-1)y=0.(x3+x2)y′+(3x2+2x−1)y=0.

That is,

x2(x+1)y′+(3x2+2x−1)y=0.x^2(x+1)y'+(3x^2+2x-1)y=0.x2(x+1)y′+(3x2+2x−1)y=0.


  1. Convert to first-order separable form

y′y=−3x2+2x−1x2(x+1).\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{3x^2+2x-1}{x^2(x+1)}.yy′​=−x2(x+1)3x2+2x−1​.

Now simplify the fraction by partial fractions:

3x2+2x−1x2(x+1)=Ax+Bx2+Cx+1.\frac{3x^2+2x-1}{x^2(x+1)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x^2}+\frac{C}{x+1}.x2(x+1)3x2+2x−1​=xA​+x2B​+x+1C​.

So,

3x2+2x−1=Ax(x+1)+B(x+1)+Cx2.3x^2+2x-1=A x(x+1)+B(x+1)+Cx^2.3x2+2x−1=Ax(x+1)+B(x+1)+Cx2.

Expand:

=Ax2+Ax+Bx+B+Cx2=(A+C)x2+(A+B)x+B.=Ax^2+Ax+Bx+B+Cx^2=(A+C)x^2+(A+B)x+B.=Ax2+Ax+Bx+B+Cx2=(A+C)x2+(A+B)x+B.

Compare coefficients:

A+C=3,A+B=2,B=−1.A+C=3,\qquad A+B=2,\qquad B=-1.A+C=3,A+B=2,B=−1.

From B=−1B=-1B=−1, we get A=3A=3A=3, and then C=0C=0C=0.

Hence,

3x2+2x−1x2(x+1)=3x−1x2.\frac{3x^2+2x-1}{x^2(x+1)}=\frac{3}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}.x2(x+1)3x2+2x−1​=x3​−x21​.

Therefore,

y′y=−(3x−1x2)=−3x+1x2.\frac{y'}{y}=-\left(\frac{3}{x}-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)=-\frac{3}{x}+\frac{1}{x^2}.yy′​=−(x3​−x21​)=−x3​+x21​.

Integrate:

∫y′y dx=∫(−3x+1x2)dx.\int \frac{y'}{y}\,dx=\int\left(-\frac{3}{x}+\frac{1}{x^2}\right)dx.∫yy′​dx=∫(−x3​+x21​)dx.

So,

ln⁡∣y∣=−3ln⁡∣x∣−1x+ln⁡∣C∣.\ln|y|=-3\ln|x|-\frac{1}{x}+\ln|C|.ln∣y∣=−3ln∣x∣−x1​+ln∣C∣.

Therefore,

y=Cx−3e−1/x=Cx3e−1/x.y=Cx^{-3}e^{-1/x}=\frac{C}{x^3}e^{-1/x}.y=Cx−3e−1/x=x3C​e−1/x.


  1. Match with the options

This is exactly:

Cx3e−1/x\boxed{\frac{C}{x^3}e^{-1/x}}x3C​e−1/x​

So the correct option is:

C
