Answer:

Correct Answer: 32.(d)

Solution:

  1. Given differential equation is

$$ \begin{array}{rlrl} & & y(1+x y) d x & =x d y \\ \Rightarrow & y d x+x y^{2} d x & =x d y \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{x d y-y d x}{y^{2}} & =x d x \\ \Rightarrow & & -\frac{(y d x-x d y)}{y^{2}} & =x d x \Rightarrow-d \quad \frac{x}{y}=x d x \end{array} $$

On integrating both sides, we get

$$ -\frac{x}{y}=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+C $$

$\because$ It passes through $(1,-1)$.

$$ \therefore \quad 1=\frac{1}{2}+C \Rightarrow C=\frac{1}{2} $$

Now, from Eq. (i) $-\frac{x}{y}=\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{1}{2}$

$$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & x^{2}+1 & =-\frac{2 x}{y} \\ \Rightarrow & y & =-\frac{2 x}{x^{2}+1} \\ \therefore & f-\frac{1}{2} & =\frac{4}{5} \end{aligned} $$
