Correct answer: D

  1. Rewrite the differential equation

Given 2yex/y2 dx+(y2−4xex/y2)dy=0.2y e^{x/y^2}\,dx + \left(y^2 - 4x e^{x/y^2}\right)dy = 0.2yex/y2dx+(y2−4xex/y2)dy=0.

Since x=x(y)x=x(y)x=x(y), divide by dydydy: 2yex/y2dxdy+y2−4xex/y2=0.2y e^{x/y^2}\frac{dx}{dy} + y^2 - 4x e^{x/y^2}=0.2yex/y2dydx​+y2−4xex/y2=0.

So, 2yex/y2dxdy=4xex/y2−y2.2y e^{x/y^2}\frac{dx}{dy}=4x e^{x/y^2}-y^2.2yex/y2dydx​=4xex/y2−y2.

This does not look linear directly, so we try a substitution involving x/y2x/y^2x/y2.


  1. Use the substitution

Let u=xy2⇒x=uy2.u=\frac{x}{y^2} \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=uy^2.u=y2x​⇒x=uy2. Then dxdy=y2dudy+2uy.\frac{dx}{dy}=y^2\frac{du}{dy}+2uy.dydx​=y2dydu​+2uy.

Also, ex/y2=eu.e^{x/y^2}=e^u.ex/y2=eu.

Substitute into the equation: 2yeu(y2dudy+2uy)+y2−4(uy2)eu=0.2y e^u\left(y^2\frac{du}{dy}+2uy\right)+y^2-4(uy^2)e^u=0.2yeu(y2dydu​+2uy)+y2−4(uy2)eu=0.

Expand: 2y3eududy+4uy2eu+y2−4uy2eu=0.2y^3 e^u\frac{du}{dy}+4uy^2 e^u+y^2-4uy^2 e^u=0.2y3eudydu​+4uy2eu+y2−4uy2eu=0.

The middle terms cancel, giving 2y3eududy+y2=0.2y^3 e^u\frac{du}{dy}+y^2=0.2y3eudydu​+y2=0.

Divide by y2y^2y2: 2yeududy+1=0.2y e^u\frac{du}{dy}+1=0.2yeudydu​+1=0. So, dudy=−12yeu=−e−u2y.\frac{du}{dy}=-\frac{1}{2y e^u}=-\frac{e^{-u}}{2y}.dydu​=−2yeu1​=−2ye−u​.

Multiply by eue^ueu: eududy=−12y.e^u\frac{du}{dy}=-\frac{1}{2y}.eudydu​=−2y1​.

But ddy(eu)=eududy,\frac{d}{dy}(e^u)=e^u\frac{du}{dy},dyd​(eu)=eudydu​, so ddy(eu)=−12y.\frac{d}{dy}(e^u)=-\frac{1}{2y}.dyd​(eu)=−2y1​.


  1. Integrate

Integrating with respect to yyy: eu=−12ln⁡y+C.e^u=-\frac{1}{2}\ln y + C.eu=−21​lny+C.

Now use the initial condition x(1)=0x(1)=0x(1)=0. At y=1y=1y=1, u=xy2=0,u=\frac{x}{y^2}=0,u=y2x​=0, so eu=1.e^u=1.eu=1.

Hence, 1=−12ln⁡1+C=C.1=-\frac{1}{2}\ln 1 + C = C.1=−21​ln1+C=C. Thus, eu=1−12ln⁡y.e^u=1-\frac{1}{2}\ln y.eu=1−21​lny.

Therefore, u=ln⁡(1−12ln⁡y).u=\ln\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\ln y\right).u=ln(1−21​lny). Since x=uy2x=uy^2x=uy2, x(y)=y2ln⁡(1−12ln⁡y).x(y)=y^2\ln\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\ln y\right).x(y)=y2ln(1−21​lny).


  1. Find x(e)x(e)x(e)

At y=ey=ey=e, ln⁡e=1.\ln e=1.lne=1. So, x(e)=e2ln⁡(1−12)=e2ln⁡(12).x(e)=e^2\ln\left(1-\frac{1}{2}\right)=e^2\ln\left(\frac12\right).x(e)=e2ln(1−21​)=e2ln(21​).

Using ln⁡(1/2)=−ln⁡2\ln(1/2)=-\ln 2ln(1/2)=−ln2, x(e)=−e2ln⁡2.x(e)=-e^2\ln 2.x(e)=−e2ln2.


  1. Match with the options

x(e)=−e2log⁡e2.x(e)=-e^2\log_e 2.x(e)=−e2loge​2. This corresponds to Option D.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our derived answer: D

So they agree.
