The solution of the differential equation $\left(3 x y+y^{2}\right) d x+\left(x^{2}+x y\right) d y=0$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $x^{2}\left(2 x y+y^{2}\right)=c^{2}$
  • B
    $x^{2}\left(2 x y-y^{2}\right)=c^{2}$
  • C
    $x^{2}\left(y^{2}-2 x y\right)=c^{2}$
  • D
    None of these

Solution

Homogeneous equation can be written in the form of Put $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x} &=-\frac{3 x y+y^{2}}{x^{2}+x y} \\ y=& v x \text { and } \frac{d y}{d x}=v+x \frac{d v}{d x}, \text { we get } \end{aligned} $$ $$ v+x \frac{d v}{d x}=-\frac{3 x^{2} v+x^{2} v^{2}}{x^{2}+x^{2} v} $$ $$ \Rightarrow \quad x \frac{d v}{d x}=\frac{-2 v(v+2)}{v+1} $$ $$ \begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow \quad & \frac{1}{x} d x=-\frac{(v+1)}{2 v(v+2)} d v \\ \Rightarrow \quad & -\frac{2}{x}=-\left[\frac{1}{2(v+2)}+\frac{1}{2 v}\right] d v \end{array} $$ On integrating, we get $$ \begin{aligned} &-2 \log _{e} x=\frac{1}{2} \log (v+2)+\frac{1}{2} \log v-\log c \\ \Rightarrow & v(v+2) x^{4}=c^{2} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{y}{x}\left(\frac{y}{x}+2\right) x^{4}=c^{2} &\left(\because v=\frac{y}{x}\right) \end{aligned} $$ Hence, required solution is $\left(y^{2}+2 x y\right) x^{2}=c^{2}$

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