Q53 / 150 · MHT CET 2016 · Mathematics

The differential equation of the family of circles touching y-axis at the origin is

  • A
    x2+y2dydx-2xy=0 
  • Correct answer
    B
    x2-y2+2xydydx=0
  • C
    x2-y2dydx-2xy=0
  • D
    x2+y2dydx+2xy=0

Solution

As required circle touches y - axis at the origin.
∴   Let Center of the circle is d(a,0) and radius is a
∴  Equation of circle will be,
x-a2+y-02=a2
⇒ x2-2ax+a2+y2=a2
⇒ x2+y2-2ax=0 .... (i)
By differentiating above equation w.r.t x, we get
2x+2ydydx-2a=0
∴ 2a=2x+2ydydx .... (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
x2+ y2-2x+2ydydxx=0
⇒ x2+y2-2x2-2xydydx=0
⇒x2-y2+2xydydx=0

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
