Differential Equations Question 118

Question: The differential equation of all circles which passes through the origin and whose centre lies on y-axis, is

[MNR 1986; DCE 2000]

Options:

A) $ (x^{2}-y^{2})\frac{dy}{dx}-2xy=0 $

B) $ (x^{2}-y^{2})\frac{dy}{dx}+2xy=0 $

C) $ (x^{2}-y^{2})\frac{dy}{dx}-xy=0 $

D) $ (x^{2}-y^{2})\frac{dy}{dx}+xy=0 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

The system of circles pass through origin and centre lies on y-axis is $ x^{2}+y^{2}-2ay=0 $

Therefore $ 2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx}-2a\frac{dy}{dx}=0 $

Therefore $ 2a=2y+2x\frac{dx}{dy} $

Therefore, the required differential equation is $ x^{2}+y^{2}-2y^{2}-2xy\frac{dx}{dy}=0 $

Therefore $ (x^{2}-y^{2})\frac{dy}{dx}-2xy=0 $ .
