Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

It can be written in the form of homogeneous equation $ \frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3xy+y^{2}}{x^{2}+xy} $

So, now put $ y=vx $ and $ \frac{dy}{dx}=v+x\frac{dv}{dx}, $ we get $ v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=-\frac{3x^{2}v+x^{2}v^{2}}{x^{2}+x^{2}v} $

Therefore $ x\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{-2v(v+2)}{v+1} $

Therefore $ \frac{1}{x}dx=-\frac{v+1}{2v(v+2)}dv=-[ \frac{1}{2(v+2)}+\frac{1}{2v(v+2)} ]dv $

Therefore $ -\frac{2}{x}dx=[ \frac{1}{v+2}+\frac{1}{2v}-\frac{1}{2v(v+2)} ] $

On integrating, we get $ -2{\log _{e}}x=\frac{1}{2}\log (v+2)+\frac{1}{2}\log v+\log c $

Therefore $ v(v+2)x^{4}=c^{2} $

Therefore $ \frac{y}{x}( \frac{y}{x}+2 )x^{4}=c^{2} $ , $ ( \because v=\frac{y}{x} ) $

Hence required solution is $ (y^{2}+2xy)x^{2}=c^{2} $ .
