Correct answer: C

  1. Given differential equation

y2 dx+(x2−xy+y2) dy=0y^2\,dx+(x^2-xy+y^2)\,dy=0y2dx+(x2−xy+y2)dy=0

We need the particular solution passing through (1,1)(1,1)(1,1), and then find where it meets the line

y=3 x.y=\sqrt{3}\,x.y=3​x.


  1. Write as differential equation in a convenient form

Treat xxx as a function of yyy:

y2dxdy+x2−xy+y2=0y^2\frac{dx}{dy}+x^2-xy+y^2=0y2dydx​+x2−xy+y2=0

So,

dxdy=−x2−xy+y2y2.\frac{dx}{dy}=-\frac{x^2-xy+y^2}{y^2}.dydx​=−y2x2−xy+y2​.

This is homogeneous in xxx and yyy. Let

x=vy⇒dxdy=v+ydvdy.x=vy \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{dx}{dy}=v+y\frac{dv}{dy}.x=vy⇒dydx​=v+ydydv​.

Substitute into the equation:

v+ydvdy=−(v2−v+1).v+y\frac{dv}{dy}=-(v^2-v+1).v+ydydv​=−(v2−v+1).

Hence,

ydvdy=−(v2+1).y\frac{dv}{dy}=-(v^2+1).ydydv​=−(v2+1).

Therefore,

dvv2+1=−dyy.\frac{dv}{v^2+1}=-\frac{dy}{y}.v2+1dv​=−ydy​.


  1. Integrate

Integrating both sides,

tan⁡−1v=−ln⁡∣y∣+C.\tan^{-1}v=-\ln|y|+C.tan−1v=−ln∣y∣+C.

Since v=xyv=\dfrac{x}{y}v=yx​, we get

tan⁡−1(xy)+ln⁡∣y∣=C.\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)+\ln|y|=C.tan−1(yx​)+ln∣y∣=C.


  1. Use the point (1,1)(1,1)(1,1)

At (x,y)=(1,1)(x,y)=(1,1)(x,y)=(1,1),

tan⁡−1(1)+ln⁡1=C.\tan^{-1}(1)+\ln 1=C.tan−1(1)+ln1=C.

So,

C=π4.C=\frac{\pi}{4}.C=4π​.

Thus the required solution curve is

tan⁡−1(xy)+ln⁡y=π4\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)+\ln y=\frac{\pi}{4}tan−1(yx​)+lny=4π​

(using y>0y>0y>0 here since points involved have positive coordinates).


  1. Use intersection with y=3xy=\sqrt{3}xy=3​x

At the intersection point (α,3α)(\alpha,\sqrt{3}\alpha)(α,3​α),

xy=α3α=13.\frac{x}{y}=\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{3}\alpha}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.yx​=3​αα​=3​1​.

Hence,

tan⁡−1(xy)=tan⁡−1(13)=π6.\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{\pi}{6}.tan−1(yx​)=tan−1(3​1​)=6π​.

Also,

y=3α.y=\sqrt{3}\alpha.y=3​α.

Substitute into the solution:

π6+ln⁡(3α)=π4.\frac{\pi}{6}+\ln(\sqrt{3}\alpha)=\frac{\pi}{4}.6π​+ln(3​α)=4π​.

Therefore,

\ln(\sqrt{3}\alpha)=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{6}= rac{\pi}{12}.


  1. Match with options

log⁡e(3α)=π12\log_e(\sqrt{3}\alpha)=\frac{\pi}{12}loge​(3​α)=12π​

So the correct option is:

C. π12\dfrac{\pi}{12}12π​


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: C

Our derived answer: C

They agree.
