Differential Equations — Class 12 Maths Solution

exemplar objective MCQ NCERT EXEMP.Q.39,Page.196
Question

The Solution of differential equation $xdy - ydx = 0$ represents

  • (a) a rectangular hyperbola
  • (b) parabola whose vertex is at origin
  • (c) straight line passing through origin ✓ Correct
  • (d) a circle whose centre is at origin
Step-by-step Solution
Correct answer: option (c)

Given that, $xdy - ydx = 0$

$\Rightarrow$ $xdy = ydx$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{{dy}}{y} = \frac{{dx}}{x}$

On integrating both sides,

we get
$\log y = \log x + \log C$

$\Rightarrow$ $\log y = \log Cx$

$\Rightarrow$ $y = Cx$

which is a straight line passing through origin.
