Correct answer: B

  1. Simplify the given function inside the differential equation

We have f(x)=x−1,g(x)=ex.f(x)=x-1, \qquad g(x)=e^x.f(x)=x−1,g(x)=ex.

First compute: f(f(x))=f(x−1)=(x−1)−1=x−2.f(f(x))=f(x-1)=(x-1)-1=x-2.f(f(x))=f(x−1)=(x−1)−1=x−2. So, g(f(f(x)))=g(x−2)=ex−2.g(f(f(x)))=g(x-2)=e^{x-2}.g(f(f(x)))=g(x−2)=ex−2.

Hence the differential equation becomes dydx=e−2x ex−2−yx.\frac{dy}{dx}=e^{-2\sqrt{x}}\,e^{x-2}-\frac{y}{\sqrt{x}}.dxdy​=e−2x​ex−2−x​y​. That is, dydx+1xy=ex−2x−2.\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}y=e^{x-2\sqrt{x}-2}.dxdy​+x​1​y=ex−2x​−2.

  1. Recognize it as a linear differential equation

This is of the form dydx+P(x)y=Q(x),\frac{dy}{dx}+P(x)y=Q(x),dxdy​+P(x)y=Q(x), with P(x)=1x,Q(x)=ex−2x−2.P(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}, \qquad Q(x)=e^{x-2\sqrt{x}-2}.P(x)=x​1​,Q(x)=ex−2x​−2.

  1. Find the integrating factor

The integrating factor is IF=e∫1xdx=e2x.IF=e^{\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}dx}=e^{2\sqrt{x}}.IF=e∫x​1​dx=e2x​.

  1. Multiply the equation by the integrating factor

Multiplying throughout by e2xe^{2\sqrt{x}}e2x​: e2xdydx+1xe2xy=e2x⋅ex−2x−2.e^{2\sqrt{x}}\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}e^{2\sqrt{x}}y=e^{2\sqrt{x}}\cdot e^{x-2\sqrt{x}-2}.e2x​dxdy​+x​1​e2x​y=e2x​⋅ex−2x​−2.

The right-hand side simplifies to ex−2.e^{x-2}.ex−2.

The left-hand side becomes ddx(ye2x).\frac{d}{dx}\left(y e^{2\sqrt{x}}\right).dxd​(ye2x​). Thus, ddx(ye2x)=ex−2.\frac{d}{dx}\left(y e^{2\sqrt{x}}\right)=e^{x-2}.dxd​(ye2x​)=ex−2.

  1. Integrate both sides

Integrating, ye2x=∫ex−2dx=ex−2+C.y e^{2\sqrt{x}}=\int e^{x-2}dx=e^{x-2}+C.ye2x​=∫ex−2dx=ex−2+C. So, y=e−2x(ex−2+C).y=e^{-2\sqrt{x}}\left(e^{x-2}+C\right).y=e−2x​(ex−2+C).

  1. Use the initial condition y(0)=0y(0)=0y(0)=0

At x=0x=0x=0, 0=e0(e−2+C)=e−2+C.0=e^0\left(e^{-2}+C\right)=e^{-2}+C.0=e0(e−2+C)=e−2+C. Hence, C=−e−2.C=-e^{-2}.C=−e−2.

Therefore, y=e−2x(ex−2−e−2).y=e^{-2\sqrt{x}}\left(e^{x-2}-e^{-2}\right).y=e−2x​(ex−2−e−2). Factor out e−2e^{-2}e−2: y=e−2xe−2(ex−1).y=e^{-2\sqrt{x}}e^{-2}(e^x-1).y=e−2x​e−2(ex−1). So, y=e−2−2x(ex−1).y=e^{-2-2\sqrt{x}}(e^x-1).y=e−2−2x​(ex−1).

  1. Find y(1)y(1)y(1)

Substitute x=1x=1x=1: y(1)=e−2−2(e−1)=e−1e4.y(1)=e^{-2-2}(e-1)=\frac{e-1}{e^4}.y(1)=e−2−2(e−1)=e4e−1​.

  1. Match with the options

y(1)=e−1e4\boxed{y(1)=\frac{e-1}{e^4}}y(1)=e4e−1​​ which is Option B.
