  • D

Answer

Correct answer:A

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: (1+x2)dydx=y(xy)(1 + x^2) \, \frac{dy}{dx} = y(x-y), with y(0)=1y(0)=1 and y(22)=βy(2\sqrt{2})=\beta.

Find: The correct relation satisfied by β\beta.

From the solution working, rewrite the equation as

dydx=y(xy)1+x2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y(x-y)}{1+x^2}

Using the substitution 1y=t\frac{1}{y}=t, the equation is reduced and integrated. The extracted working states the general solution as

1+x2=yln(e(x+1+x2))\sqrt{1+x^2} = y\ln\left(e\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)\right)

Now apply the initial condition y(0)=1y(0)=1. Substituting x=0x=0 and y=1y=1 gives

1=1+02ln(e(0+1+02))1 = \sqrt{1+0^2}\ln(e(0+\sqrt{1+0^2}))

which simplifies to

1=ln(e(1))=11 = \ln(e(1)) = 1

So the stated form is consistent with the condition.

Next, use y(22)=βy(2\sqrt{2})=\beta. Since

1+(22)2=9=3\sqrt{1+(2\sqrt{2})^2} = \sqrt{9} = 3

and

22+1+(22)2=22+32\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{1+(2\sqrt{2})^2} = 2\sqrt{2}+3

we get, from the extracted solution,

β=3ln(e(3+22))\beta = \frac{3}{\ln(e(3+2\sqrt{2}))}

The working then concludes that this leads to

e3β1=e(3+22)e^{3\beta - 1} = e^{(3 + 2\sqrt{2})}

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Use the final substituted form directly

Given: The extracted solution provides a final usable relation after solving the differential equation.

Find: Which option matches the value at x=22x=2\sqrt{2}.

Use the stated solution form directly and substitute x=22x=2\sqrt{2}. Then

1+x2=3\sqrt{1+x^2} = 3

and

x+1+x2=3+22x+\sqrt{1+x^2} = 3+2\sqrt{2}

The extracted working immediately converts this into the relation

e3β1=e(3+22)e^{3\beta - 1} = e^{(3 + 2\sqrt{2})}

So without re-deriving every algebraic step, we can match the result with the options.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the equation as directly separable is incorrect because yy appears in the term y(xy)y(x-y) mixed with xx. Instead, use the substitution indicated in the working, namely 1y=t\frac{1}{y}=t, to reduce it to a solvable first-order equation.

  • While applying the condition y(22)=βy(2\sqrt{2})=\beta, a common error is computing 1+(22)2\sqrt{1+(2\sqrt{2})^2} incorrectly. Since (22)2=8(2\sqrt{2})^2=8, we get 9=3\sqrt{9}=3, not 222\sqrt{2} or 8\sqrt{8}.

  • Students may match the option using the raw expression for β\beta without converting it into the required exponential form. The question asks for the relation satisfied by β\beta, so after substitution, rewrite the result exactly in the option format before choosing.
