I.
Question 1.
Find the general solution of \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}\)
Solution:
Given D.E. is \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 \sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}}{2 \cos ^2 \frac{x}{2}}=\tan ^2 \frac{x}{2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\left(\sec ^2 \frac{x}{2}-1\right) \Rightarrow d y=\left(\sec ^2 \frac{x}{2}-1\right) d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \mathrm{dy}=\int\left(\sec ^2 \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}-1\right) \mathrm{dx}\)
⇒ y = \(\int \sec ^2 \frac{x}{2} d x-\int d x \Rightarrow y=2 \tan \frac{x}{2}-x+C\)
Question 2.
Find the general solution of \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\sqrt{4-y^2}\), (-2 < y < 2)
Solution:
Given D.E. is \(\int \frac{d y}{\sqrt{4-y^2}}=\int d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d y}{\sqrt{4-y^2}}=\int d x\)
⇒ sin-1\(\frac{y}{2}\) = x + C ⇒ \(\frac{y}{2}\) = sin(x + C) ⇒ y = 2 sin(x + C)

Question 3.
Find the general solution of \(\frac{d y}{d x}+y=1\), (y ≠ 1)
Solution:
Given D.E. is \(\frac{d y}{d x}+y=1 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=1-y \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{1-y}=d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\int \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{1-\mathrm{y}}=\int \mathrm{dx}\) ⇒ -log (y – 1) = x + log C ⇒ – log C – log(y – 1) = x
⇒ -[log C + log(y – 1)] = x ⇒ log C(y – 1) = -x ⇒ C(y – 1) = e-x
⇒ y = 1 + \(\frac{1}{C} e^{-x}\) ⇒ y = 1 + Ae-x (Where A = \(\frac{1}{C}\))
Question 4.
Find the general solution of sec2 x tan ydx + sec2 ytan xdy = 0
Solution:
Given D.E. is sec2 x tan ydx + sec2 ytan xdy = 0
⇒ sec2 xtan ydx = -(sec2 y)(tan x) dy
⇒ \(\frac{\sec ^2 x}{\tan x} d x=-\frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y\)
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\int \frac{\sec ^2 x}{\tan x} d x=-\int \frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y\) ………….(1)
Let tan x = t \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(tan x) = \(\frac{d t}{d x}\) ⇒ sec2 x = \(\frac{d t}{d x}\) ⇒ sec2 xdx =dt
Now, \(\int \frac{\sec ^2 x}{\tan x} d x=\int \frac{1}{t} d t\) = log t = log(tan x) …………(2)
Similarly, \(\int \frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y\) = log(tan y) ………….(3)
Using (1), (2), (3) we get log(tan x) = -log(tan y) + log C
log(tan x) = log\(\left(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\tan \mathrm{y}}\right)\) ⇒ tan x = \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{\tan \mathrm{y}}\) ⇒ tan x tan y = C

Question 5.
Find the general solution of (ex + e-x) dy – (ex – e-x)dx = 0
Solution:
Given D.E. is (ex + e-x) dy – (ex – e-x)dx = 0
⇒ (ex + e-x)dy = (ex – e-x)dx ⇒ dy = \(\left[\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}\right] d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \mathrm{dy}=\int\left[\frac{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{x}}}{\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{x}}}\right] \mathrm{dx}\) ……..(1)
Let (ex + e-x) = t ⇒ \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(ex + e-x) = \(\frac{d t}{d x}\) ⇒ (ex + e-x)dx = dt
Putting these values in equation (1), we get \(\int \mathrm{dy}=\int \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{dt}+\mathrm{C}\)
⇒ y = log(t) + C ⇒ y = log(ex + e-x) + C
Question 6.
Find the general solution of \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = (1 + x2)(1 + y2)
Solution:
Given D.E. \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = (1 + x2)(1 + y2) ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{1+y^2}\) = (1 + x2)dx
Integratingboth sides, we get \(\int \frac{d y}{1+y^2}=\int\left(1+x^2\right) d x\)
⇒ tan-1 y = \(\int \mathrm{dx}+\int \mathrm{x}^2 \mathrm{dx} \Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x}+\frac{\mathrm{x}^3}{\mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{C}\)

Question 7.
Find the general solution of y log ydx – xdy = 0
Solution:
Given D.E. is y log ydx – xdy = 0 ⇒ y log ydx = xdy ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{y \log y}=\frac{d x}{x}\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d y}{y \log y}=\int \frac{d x}{x}\) ………….(1)
Let log y = ⇒ t \(\frac{d}{d y}(\log y)=\frac{d t}{d y} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y}=\frac{d t}{d y} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y} d y=d t\)
Putting these values in equation (1) we get \(\) ⇒ log t = log x + log C
⇒ log(log y) = log Cx ⇒ log y = Cx ⇒ y = eCx
Question 8.
Find the general solution of \(x^5 \frac{d y}{d x}\) = -y5
Solution:
Given D.E is \(x^5 \frac{d y}{d x}=-y^5 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{y^5}=-\frac{d x}{x^5} \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{x^5}+\frac{d y}{y^5}=0\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d x}{x^5}+\int \frac{d y}{y^5}\) = k
⇒ \(\int x^{-5} d x+\int y^{-5} d y=k \Rightarrow \frac{x^{-4}}{-4}+\frac{y^{-4}}{-4}\) = k
⇒ x-4 + y-4 = -4k ⇒ x-4 + y-4 = C (where C = -4k)

Question 9.
Find the general solution of \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = sin-1 x
Solution:
Given D.E. is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = sin-1 x dy = sin-1 xdx
Integrating both sides, we get \(\)
⇒ y = sin-1 x.\(\text { (1) } \mathrm{dx}-\int\left[\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(\sin ^{-1} \mathrm{x}\right)\right] \int(1) \mathrm{dx}\right] \mathrm{dx}\)
⇒ y = x sin-1 x + \(\frac{-x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} d x\) ………….(1)
Let 1 – x2 = t ⇒ \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(1-x^2\right)=\frac{d t}{d x} \Rightarrow-2 x=\frac{d t}{d x} \Rightarrow x d x=-\frac{1}{2} d t\)
Puttingthese values in equation (1), we get
⇒ y = x sin-1 x + \(\int \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{t}} d t \Rightarrow y=x \sin ^{-1} x+\frac{1}{2} \int(t)^{\frac{-1}{2}} d t\)
⇒ y = x sin-1 x + \(\frac{1}{2} \cdot\left(\frac{\frac{1}{t^2}}{\frac{1}{2}}\right)+C \Rightarrow y=x \sin ^{-1} x+\sqrt{t}+C\)
y = x sin-1 x + \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\) + C
Question 10.
Find the general solution of ex tan ydx + (1 – ex)sec2 ydy = 0
Solution:
Given D.E. is ex tan ydx + (1 – ex)sec2 ydy = 0
⇒ (1 – ex) sec2 y dy = -ex tan y dx ⇒ \(\frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y=\frac{-e^x}{1-e^x} d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\)
Let tan y = u ⇒ \(\frac{d}{d y}(\tan y)=\frac{d u}{d y} \Rightarrow \sec ^2 y=\frac{d u}{d y}\) ⇒ sec2 ydy = du
Now, \(\int \frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y=\int \frac{d u}{u}\) = log u = log(tan y) ……….(2)
Now, let(1 – ex) = t ⇒ \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(1 – ex) = \(\frac{d t}{d x}\)
⇒ -ex = \(\frac{d t}{d x}\) ⇒ -ex dx = dt
Now, \(\int \frac{-e^x}{1-e^x} d x=\int \frac{d t}{t}\) = log t = log(1 – ex) ……………(3)
Sub (2) and (3) in (1) ⇒ log(tan y) = log(1 – ex) + log C
⇒ log(tan y) = log[C(1 – ex)] ⇒ tan y = C(1 – ex)

Question 11.
Find a particular solution of \(\cos \left(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)\) = 1 (a ∈ R); y = 1 when x = 0
Solution:
Given D.E is \(\cos \left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)\) = a \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = cos-1 a ⇒ dy = cos-1 adx
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\int \mathrm{dy}=\cos ^{-1} \mathrm{a} \int \mathrm{dx}\) ⇒ y =cos-1 a.x + C ⇒ y = cos-1 a + C
Now, y = 1 when x = 0 ⇒ 1 = 0.cos-1 a + C ⇒ C = 1
Thus, y = xcos-1 a + 1 ⇒ \(\frac{y-1}{x}=\cos ^{-1} a \Rightarrow \cos \left(\frac{y-1}{x}\right)=a\), is a particular solution.
II.
Question 1.
Find a particular solution of \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = y tan x; y = 1 when x = 0
Solution:
Given D.E. is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = y tan x ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{y}\) = tan xdx
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d y}{y}=\int \tan x d x\) ⇒ log y = log(sec x) + log C
⇒ log y = log(sec xC) ⇒ y = C sec x
Now, y = 1, x = 0 ⇒ 1 = C × sec0 ⇒ 1 = C × 1 ⇒ C = 1, Thus, y = sec x is a particular solution.

Question 2.
Find the equation of a curve passing through the point (0, 0) and whose differential equation is y’ = ex sin x.
Solution:
Given D.E. is y’ = ex sin x ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = ex sin x ⇒ dy = ex sinx dx
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int d y=\int e^x \sin x d x \Rightarrow y=\int e^x \sin x d x\) ……………..(1)
Let I = \(\int e^x \sin x d x\)

⇒ 2y – 1 = ex(sin x – cos x) which is the equation of the curve.
Question 3.
For the differential equation \(x y \frac{d y}{d x}\) = (x + 2)(y + 2). find the solution curve passing through the point (1, -1).
Solution:
Given D.E. is \(x y \frac{d y}{d x}\) = (x + 2)(y + 2) ⇒ \(\left(\frac{y}{y+2}\right) d y=\left(\frac{x+2}{2}\right) d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\int\left(1-\frac{2}{y+2}\right) d y=\int\left(1+\frac{2}{x}\right) d x \Rightarrow \int d y-2 \int \frac{1}{y+2} d y=\int d x+2 \int \frac{1}{x} d x\)
⇒ y – 2log(y + 2) = x + 2log x + C
⇒ y – x – C = log x2 + log(y + 2)2 ⇒ y – x – C = log[x2(y + 2)2]
Since, the curve passes through (1, -1) we have
⇒ -1 – 1 – C = log[(1)2(-1 + 2)2] ⇒ -2 – C = log 1 ⇒ 2 – C = 0 ⇒ C = -2
Thus, y – x + 2 = log[x2(y + 2)2] is the required solution of the curve.

Question 4.
Find the equation of a curve passing through the point (0, -2) given that at any point (x, y) on the curve, the product of the slope of its tangent and y coordinate of the point is equal to the x coordinate of the point.
Solution:
Let x and y be the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the curve, respectively.
We know that the slope of a tangent to the curve in the coordinate axis is given by \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
y.\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = x ydy = xdx
Integrating both sides, \(\int y d y=\int x d x \Rightarrow \frac{y^2}{2}=\frac{x^2}{2}+C\) ⇒ y2 – x2 = 2C
Since, the curve passes through (0, -2) , we have (-2)2 – 02 = 2C ⇒ 2C = 4
Thus, y2 – x2 = 4 is the required equation of the curve.
III.
Question 1.
Find a particular solution of (x3 + x2 + x + 1)\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2x2 + x;y = 1 when x = 0
Solution:
Given D.E. is (x3 + x2 + x + 1)\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2x2 + x;y = 1
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 x^2+x}{\left(x^3+x^2+x+1\right)} \Rightarrow d y=\frac{2 x^2+x}{\left(x^3+x^2+x+1\right)} d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get

⇒ A(x2 + 1) + (Bx + C)(x + 1) = 2x2 + x….(1)
Put x = -1 in (1) then A[(-1)2 + 1] + 0 = 2(-12) + 1 ⇒ 2A = 1 ⇒ A = 1/2
Put x = 0 in (1) then A + C = 0 => C = -A = -1/2
Equating the coefficients of x2 we get A + B = 2 => B = 2 – A = 2 – \(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{1}{2}\), B = \(\frac{3}{2}\) and C = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
Substituting these values in (2) , we get

Thus, y = \(\frac{1}{4}\)[log(x + 1)2(x2 + 1)3] – \(\frac{1}{2}\)tan-1 x + 1, is a particular solution.

Question 2.
Find a particular solution of x(x2 – 1)\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 1; y = 0 when x = 2
Solution:
Given D.E. is x(x2 – 1)\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 1 ⇒ dy = \(\frac{d x}{x\left(x^2-1\right)} \Rightarrow d y=\frac{1}{x(x-1)(x+1)} d x\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \mathrm{dy}=\int \frac{1}{\mathrm{x}(\mathrm{x}-1)(\mathrm{x}+1)} \mathrm{dx}\) ……..(1)
Let \(\frac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x-1}+\frac{C}{x+1}\) …….(2)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{x(x-1)(x+1)}=\frac{A(x-1)(x+1)+B x(x+1)+C x(x-1)}{x(x-1)(x+1)}\)
⇒ A(x – 1)(x + 1) + Bx(x + 1) + Cx(x – 1) = 1 ………..(3)
Put x =0 in (3) then A(0 – 1)(0 + 1) + B(0) + C(0) = 1 ⇒ -A = 1 ⇒ A = -1
Put x =1 in (3) then A(0) + B1(1 + 1) + C(0) = 1 ⇒ 2B = 1 ⇒ B = 1/2
Put x = -1 in (3) then A(0) + B(0) + C(-1)(-1 – 1) = 1 ⇒ 2C = 1 ⇒ C = 1/2
∴ A = -1, B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and C = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Substituting these values in (2), we get

Question 3.
At any point (x, y) of a curve, the slope of the tangent is twice the slope of the line segment joining the point of contact to the point (- 4, -3). Find the equation of the curve given that it passes through (-2, 1).
Solution:
Given that (x, y) is point of contact of curve and tangent.
Slope of segment joining (x, y) and (-4, -3) is m1 = \(\frac{y+3}{x+4}\)
We know that the slope of a tangent to the curve in the coordinate axis is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\)
Slope of tangent is m2 = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) But m2 = 2m1
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=2 \frac{(y+3)}{x+4} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{y+3}=\frac{2 d x}{x+4}\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d y}{y+3}=2 \int \frac{d x}{x+4}\) ⇒ log(y + 3) = 2log(x + 4) + log C
⇒ log (y + 3) = log C(x + 4)2 ⇒ y + 3 = C(x + 4)2
Since, the curve passes through , (-2, 1) we have 1 + 3 = C(-2 + 4)2 ⇒ 4 = 4C ⇒ C = 1
Thus, y + 3 = (x + 4)2 is the required equation of the curve.

Question 4.
The volume of spherical balloon being inflated changes at a constant rate. If initially its radius is 3 units and after 3 seconds it is 6 units. Find the radius of balloon after t seconds.
Solution:
Let the rate of change of volume of the balloon be k.
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dV}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{k} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{~d}}{\mathrm{dt}}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^3\right)=\mathrm{k} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{3} \pi 3 \mathrm{r}^2 \frac{\mathrm{dr}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{k} \Rightarrow 4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{dr}=\mathrm{kdt}\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int 4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{dr}=\int \mathrm{kdt} \Rightarrow 4 \pi \frac{\mathrm{r}^3}{3}=\mathrm{kt}+\mathrm{C} \Rightarrow 4 \pi \mathrm{r}^3=3(\mathrm{kt}+\mathrm{C})\)
At t = 0, we have r = 3
⇒ 4π × 27 = 3(k × 0 + C) ⇒108π = 3C ⇒ C = 36π
Now, at t = 3, we have r = 6 ⇒ 4π × 63 = 3(k × 3 + C)
⇒ 864π = 3(3k + 36π) ⇒ 3k = 288π – 36π = 252π ⇒ k = 84π
Hence 4πr3 = 3[84πt + 36π] ⇒ 4πr3 = 4π(63t + 27)
⇒ r3 = 63t + 27 ⇒ r = (63t + 27)\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Thus, the radius of the balloon after t seconds is (63t + 27)\(\frac{1}{3}\) units.
Question 5.
In a bank, principal increases continuously at the rate of r%.per year. Find the value of r if Rs 100 double itself in 10 years (loge2 = 0.6931).
Solution:
Let p, t and r represent the principle, time and rate of interest respectively.
The principle increases continuously at the rate of r% per year
⇒ \(\frac{d p}{d t}=\left(\frac{r}{100}\right) p \Rightarrow \frac{d p}{p}=\left(\frac{r}{100}\right) d t\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{\mathrm{dp}}{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{\mathrm{r}}{100} \int \mathrm{dt} \Rightarrow \log \mathrm{p}=\frac{\mathrm{rt}}{100}+\mathrm{k} \Rightarrow \mathrm{p}=\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{rt}}{100}+\mathrm{k}}\)
It is given that p = 100 when t = 0 ⇒ 100 = ek
Now, if t = 10 then p = 2 × 100 = 200
Hence, 200 = \(e^{\frac{r}{10}+k} \Rightarrow 200=e^{\frac{r}{10}} e^k \Rightarrow 200=e^{\frac{r}{10}} \cdot 100 \Rightarrow e^{\frac{r}{10}}=2 \Rightarrow \frac{r}{10}=\log _e 2\)
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{10}\) = 0.6931 ⇒ r = 6.931
Thus, the rate of interest, r = 6.931%

Question 6.
In a bank, principal increases continuously at the rate of 5% per year. An amount of Rs 1000 Is deposited with this bank, how much will it worth after 10 years (e0.5 = 1.648).
Solution:
Let p and t be the principle and time, respectively.
The principle increases continuóusly at the rate of 5%per year.
\(\frac{d p}{d t}=5 \% \times p \Rightarrow \frac{d p}{d t}=\left(\frac{5}{100}\right) p \Rightarrow \frac{d p}{d t}=\frac{p}{20} \Rightarrow \frac{d p}{p}=\frac{d t}{20}\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d p}{p}=\frac{1}{20} \int d t \Rightarrow \log p=\frac{t}{20}+C \Rightarrow p=e^{\frac{t}{20}+C}\)
Now, p = 1000 when t = 0 ∴ 1ooo = eC
Now, at t= 10 and eC = 1000 ⇒ p = \(e^{\frac{10}{20}+C} \Rightarrow p=e^{0.5} \times e^C\) ⇒ p = 1.648 × 1000 ⇒ p = 1648
∴ After 10 years Rs. 1000 becomes Rs 1648 at the rate of 5%.
Question 7.
In a culture, the bacteria count is 1,00,000. The number is increased by 10% in 2 hours. In how many hours will the count reach 2,00,000, if the rate of growth of bacteria is proportional to the number present?
Solution:
Let y be the number of bacteria at any instant t.
Rate of growth of the bacteria is proportional to the number present
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d t} \propto y \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}=k y \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{y}=k d t\)
Integrating both sides, we get \(\int \frac{d y}{y}=k \int d t \Rightarrow \log y=k t+C\)
Let y0 be the number of bacteria at t = 0 ⇒ log y0 = C ⇒ log y = kt + log y0
⇒ log y – log y0 = kt ⇒ log\(\left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{y}_0}\right)\) = kt
Since, the number of bacteria increases by 10% in 2 hours. ⇒ \(\frac{y}{y_0}=\frac{110}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{y}{y_0}=\frac{11}{10}\)

The number of bacteria increases from 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 in 0.24 hr.
