D second order and first degree
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
Ax2+By2=1...(1)A{x^2} + B{y^2} = 1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 1 \right)
Ax+bydydx=0...(2)Ax + by{{dy} \over {dx}} = 0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 2 \right)
A+Byd2ydx2+B(dydx)2=0...(3)A + By{{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} + B{\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)^2} = 0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 3 \right)

From

(2)(2)

and

(3)(3)
x{Byd2ydx2B(dydx)2}+Bydydx=0x\left\{ { - By{{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} - B{{\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)}^2}} \right\} + By{{dy} \over {dx}} = 0

Dividing both sides by

B,-B,

we get

xyd2ydx2+x(dydx)2ydydx=0\Rightarrow xy{{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} + x{\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)^2} - y{{dy} \over {dx}} = 0

Which is

Q12
The differential equation of all circles passing through the origin and having their centres on the xx-axis is :
A y2=x2+2xydydx{y^2} = {x^2} + 2xy{{dy} \over {dx}}
B y2=x22xydydx{y^2} = {x^2} - 2xy{{dy} \over {dx}}
C x2=y2+xydydx{x^2} = {y^2} + xy{{dy} \over {dx}}
D x2=y2+3xydydx{x^2} = {y^2} + 3xy{{dy} \over {dx}}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

General equation of circles passing through origin and having their centres on the

xx

-axis is

x2+y2+2gx=0....(i){x^2} + {y^2} + 2gx = 0\,\,\,\,....\left( i \right)

On differentiating

w.r.t.x,w.r.t.x,

we get

2x+2y.dydx+2g=02x + 2y.{{dy} \over {dx}} + 2g = 0
g=(x+ydydx)\Rightarrow g = - \left( {x + y{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)

\therefore equation

(i)(i)

be

x2+y2+2{(x+ydydx)}x=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 2\left\{ { - \left( {x + y{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)} \right\}x = 0
x2+y22x22xdydx.y=0\Rightarrow {x^2} + {y^2} - 2{x^2} - 2x{{dy} \over {dx}}.y = 0
y2=x2+2xydydx\Rightarrow {y^2} = {x^2} + 2xy{{dy} \over {dx}}
Q13
The solution of the differential equation dydx=x+yx{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{x + y} \over x} satisfying the condition y(1)=1y(1)=1 is :
A y=lnx+xy = \ln x + x
B y=xlnx+x2y = x\ln x + {x^2}
C y=xe(x1)y = x{e^{\left( {x - 1} \right)}}\,
D y=xlnx+xy = x\,\ln x + x
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
dydx=x+yx=1+yx{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{x + y} \over x} = 1 + {y \over x}

Putting

y=y=
vxvx

and

dydx=v+xdvdx{{dy} \over {dx}} = v + x{{dv} \over {dx}}

we get

v+xdvdx=1+vv + x{{dv} \over {dx}} = 1 + v
dxx=dv\Rightarrow \int {{{dx} \over x}} = \int {dv}
v=lnx+c\Rightarrow v = \ln {\mkern 1mu} x + c
y=xlnx+cx\Rightarrow y = x\ln x + cx

As

y(1)=1\,\,\,\,y\left( 1 \right) = 1

\therefore

c=1c=1

So solution is

y=xlnx+xy=xlnx+x
Q14
The differential equation which represents the family of curves y=c1ec2x,y = {c_1}{e^{{c_2}x}}, where c1{c_1} , and c2{c_2} are arbitrary constants, is
A y=yyy'' = y'y
B yy=yyy'' = y'
C yy=(y)2yy'' = {\left( {y'} \right)^2}
D y=y2y' = {y^2}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

We have

y=c1ec2xy = {c_1}{e^{{c_2}x}}
y=c1c2ec2x=c2y\Rightarrow y' = {c_1}{c_2}{e^{{c_2}x}} = {c_2}y
yy=c2\Rightarrow {{y'} \over y} = {c_2}
yy(y)2y2=0\Rightarrow {{y''y\left( {y'} \right){}^2} \over {{y^2}}} = 0
yy=(y)2\Rightarrow y''y = {\left( {y'} \right)^2}
Q15
The differential equation of the family of curves, x2 = 4b(y + b), b \in R, is :
A x(y')2 = x – 2yy'
B x(y')2 = 2yy' – x
C xy" = y'
D x(y')2 = x + 2yy'
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

x2 = 4b(y + b) \Rightarrow 2x = 4by' \Rightarrow b =

x2y{x \over {2y'}}

\therefore differential equation is x2 = 4.y.

x2y{x \over {2y'}}

+ 4

(x2y)2{\left( {{x \over {2y'}}} \right)^2}

\Rightarrow x2 =

2xyy{{2xy} \over {y'}}

+

x2(y)2{{{x^2}} \over {{{\left( {y'} \right)}^2}}}

\Rightarrow x =

2yy{{2y} \over {y'}}

+

x(y)2{x \over {{{\left( {y'} \right)}^2}}}

\Rightarrow x(y')2 = x + 2yy'

Q16

Let

1y=t1y2dydx=dtdx\,\,\,\,{1 \over y} = t \Rightarrow - {1 \over {{y^2}}}{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{dt} \over {dx}}

From equation

(i)(i)
dtdxtanx=secx- {{dt} \over {dx}} - \tan x = - \sec x
dtdx+(tanx)t=secx\Rightarrow {{dt} \over {dx}} + \left( {\tan x} \right)t = \sec x
I.F.=etanxdx=(e)logsecxsecx{\rm I}.F. = {e^{\int {\tan xdx} }} = {\left( e \right)^{\log \left| {\sec x} \right|}}\sec x

Q17
Let II be the purchase value of an equipment and V(t)V(t) be the value after it has been used for tt years. The value V(t)V(t) depreciates at a rate given by differential equation dv(t)dt=k(Tt),{{dv\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = - k\left( {T - t} \right), where k>0k>0 is a constant and TT is the total life in years of the equipment. Then the scrap value V(T)V(T) of the equipment is
A IkT22I - {{k{T^2}} \over 2}
B Ik(Tt)22I - {{k{{\left( {T - t} \right)}^2}} \over 2}
C ekT{e^{ - kT}}
D T21k{T^2} - {1 \over k}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
dV(t)dt=k(Tt){{dV\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = - k\left( {T - t} \right)
dVt=k(Tt)dt\Rightarrow \int {dVt} = - k\int {\left( {T - t} \right)} dt
V(t)=k(Tt)22+cV\left( t \right) = {{k{{\left( {T - t} \right)}^2}} \over 2} + c
V(0)=II=KT22+CV\left( 0 \right) = I \Rightarrow I = {{K{T^2}} \over 2} + C
C=IKT22\Rightarrow C = I - {{K{T^2}} \over 2}

\therefore

V(T)=0+C=IKT22\,\,\,\,\,V\left( T \right) = 0 + C = I - {{K{T^2}} \over 2}
Q18
If dydx=y+3>0{{dy} \over {dx}} = y + 3 > 0\,\, and y(0)=2,y(0)=2, then y(ln2)y\left( {\ln 2} \right) is equal to :
A 55
B 1313
C 2-2
D 77
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
dydx=y+3dyy+3=dx{{dy} \over {dx}} = y + 3 \Rightarrow \int {{{dy} \over {y + 3}}} = \int {dx}
ny+3=x+c\Rightarrow \ell n\left| {y + 3} \right| = x + c

Since

y(0)=2,y\left( 0 \right) = 2,\,\,\,
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,

\therefore

\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
n5=c\ell n5 = c
ny+3=x+n5\Rightarrow \ell n\left| {y + 3 = x + \ell n5} \right|

When

x=n2,x = \ell n2,

then

ny+3=n2+n5\ell n\left| {y + 3} \right| = \ell n2 + \ell n5
lny+3=n10\Rightarrow \ln \left| {y + 3} \right| = \ell n\,10

\therefore

\,\,\,\,\,
y+3=±10y=7,13y + 3 = \pm 10 \Rightarrow y = 7, - 13
Q19
The population pp (t)(t) at time tt of a certain mouse species satisfies the differential equation dp(t)dt=0.5p(t)450.{{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = 0.5\,p\left( t \right) - 450.\,\, If p(0)=850,p(0)=850, then the time at which the population becomes zero is :
A 2ln2ln 1818
B lnln 99
C 12{1 \over 2}lnln 1818
D lnln 1818
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given differential equation is

dp(t)dt=0.5p(t)450{{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = 0.5p\left( t \right) - 450
dp(t)dt=12p(t)450\Rightarrow {{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = {1 \over 2}p\left( t \right) - 450
dp(t)dt=p(t)9002\Rightarrow {{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = {{p\left( t \right) - 900} \over 2}
2dp(t)dt=[900p(t)]\Rightarrow 2{{dp\left( t \right)} \over {dt}} = \left[ {900 - p\left( t \right)} \right]
2dp(t)900p(t)=dt\Rightarrow 2{{dp\left( t \right)} \over {900 - p\left( t \right)}} = - dt

Integrate both sides, we get

2dp(t)900p(t)=dt\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, - 2\int {{{dp\left( t \right)} \over {900 - p\left( t \right)}}} = \int {dt}
Let900p(t)=u\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Let\,\,900 - p\left( t \right) = u
dp(t)=du\Rightarrow - dp\left( t \right) = du

\therefore

\,\,\,\,\,\,

We have,

2duu=dt2lnu=t+c2\int {{{du} \over u}} = \int {dt \Rightarrow 2\,\ln \,u = t + c}
2ln[900p(t)]=t+c\Rightarrow 2\ln \left[ {900 - p\left( t \right)} \right] = t + c
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,

when

t=0,p(0)=850t = 0,p\left( 0 \right) = 850
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
2ln(50)=c2\ln \left( {50} \right) = c
2[ln(900p(t)50)]=t\Rightarrow 2\left[ {\ln \left( {{{900 - p\left( t \right)} \over {50}}} \right)} \right] = t
900p(t)=50et2\Rightarrow 900 - p\left( t \right) = 50{e^{{t \over 2}}}
p(t)=90050et2\Rightarrow p\left( t \right) = 900 - 50{e^{{t \over 2}}}

Let

p(t1)=0p\left( {{t_1}} \right) = 0
0=90050et120 = 900 - 50{e^{{{{t_1}} \over 2}}}

\therefore

t1=2ln18\,\,\,\,\,\,{t_1} = 2\ln 18

At present, a firm is manufacturing 20002000 items. It is estimated that the rate of change of production P w.r.t. additional number of workers xx is given by dpdx=10012x.{{dp} \over {dx}} = 100 - 12\sqrt x . If the firm employs 2525 more workers, then the new level of production of items is
A 25002500
B 30003000
C 35003500
D 45004500
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Given, Rate of change is

dpdx=10012x{{dp} \over {dx}} = 100 - 12\sqrt x
dP=(10012x)dx\Rightarrow dP = \left( {100 - 12\sqrt x } \right)dx

By intergrating

dP=(10012x)dx\int {dP = \int {\left( {100 - 12\sqrt x } \right)} } dx
dP=(10012x)dx\int {dP} = \int {\left( {100 - 12\sqrt x } \right)} dx
P=100x8x3/2+CP = 100x - 8{x^{3/2}} + C

Given, when

x=0x=0

then

P=2000P=2000
C=2000\Rightarrow C = 2000

Now when

xx
=25=25

then

P=100×258×(25)3/2+2000P = 100 \times 25 - 8 \times {\left( {25} \right)^{3/2}} + 2000
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
=45001000=4500-1000
P=3500\Rightarrow P = 3500
