The general solution of the differential equation $\left(\frac{1}{x^2}+x\right) \frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=1$ is

  • A
    $y=\frac{1}{x^2}+3 c$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $(3 y-1) x^3+3 y=c$
  • C
    $\log y-x y=c$
  • D
    $\left(1+x^3\right) y=x^3+c$

Solution

Given differential equation is $$ \begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & \left(\frac{1}{x^2}+x\right) \frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=1 \\ \Rightarrow & \left(\frac{1+x^3}{x^2}\right) \frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=1 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{3 x^2}{1+x^3} y=\frac{x^2}{1+x^3} \end{array} $$ Which is the linear differential equation of the form $\frac{d y}{d x}+P y=Q$. Here, $P=\frac{3 x^2}{1+x^3}$ and $Q=\frac{x^2}{1+x^3}$ Now, IF $=\int_e P d x=e^{\int \frac{3 x^2}{1+x^3} d x}=e^{\log \left(1+x^3\right)}$ $=1+x^3$ and solution of the given equation, is $$ \begin{array}{ll} y\left(1+x^3\right)= & \int\left(1+x^3\right) \frac{x^2}{\left(1+x^3\right)} d x+k=\int x^2 d x+k \\ \Rightarrow & y\left(1+x^3\right)=\frac{x^3}{3}+k \\ \Rightarrow & 3 y+3 y x^3=x^3+3 k \\ \Rightarrow & (3 y-1) x^3+3 y=3 k \\ \Rightarrow & (3 y-1) x^3+3 y=c \quad \quad[\because 3 k=c] \end{array} $$

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