   Q.The general solution of the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}}$ is (A) $\log \sqrt{y} = \log \sqrt{x} + C$ (B) $\sqrt{y} + \sqrt{x} = C$ (C) $\sqrt{y} - \sqrt{x} = C$ (D) $\log \sqrt{y} + \log \sqrt{x} = C$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This is a separable first-order ODE. Separate variables, integrate, and simplify to get $\sqrt{y} - \sqrt{x} = C$, which is option (C).

   The key idea: whenever you see $\frac{dy}{dx}$ expressed as a ratio of functions of $y$ and $x$ alone, you can "separate" them — move all $y$ terms to one side and all $x$ terms to the other — then integrate each side independently. That's exactly what we have here: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{y}}{\sqrt{x}}$.

   Notice that $\sqrt{y}$ depends only on $y$, and $\sqrt{x}$ only on $x$. So the equation is already in separable form — we just need to rearrange it properly.

   1. Separate the variables. Multiply both sides by $dx$ and divide by $\sqrt{y}$:

   $\frac{dy}{\sqrt{y}} = \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}}$

   This is valid as long as $x > 0$ and $y > 0$ (so the square roots are defined and non-zero).

   2. Integrate both sides. Each side is a standard power integral:

   $\int y^{-1/2}\, dy = \int x^{-1/2}\, dx$

   $\frac{y^{1/2}}{1/2} = \frac{x^{1/2}}{1/2} + C_1$

   which simplifies to:

   $2\sqrt{y} = 2\sqrt{x} + C_1$

   3. Simplify the constant. Divide through by 2:

   $\sqrt{y} = \sqrt{x} + \frac{C_1}{2}$

   Let $C = \frac{C_1}{2}$ (just renaming the arbitrary constant). Then:

   $\sqrt{y} - \sqrt{x} = C$

   Watch out

   A common mistake is to forget the constant of integration or to combine the two integration constants incorrectly. When you integrate both sides, you get a constant on each side — but they can be merged into a single constant. Also, don't lose the factor of 2 from the power rule: $\int u^{-1/2}\, du = 2u^{1/2}$, not $u^{1/2}$. …

   Q.Questions number 19 and 20 are Assertion-Reason based questions. Two statements are given, one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes: (A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). (B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A). (C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false. (D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true. Assertion (A): A particular solution of the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x+y}$ is $e^x + e^{-y} = -2$. Reason (R): The general solution of the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x+y}$ is $e^x + e^{-y} = C$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Separate variables in $\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x+y}$ to find the general solution $e^x + e^{-y} = C$; the particular solution $e^x + e^{-y} = -2$ is impossible because the left side is always positive while the right is negative.

   The differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x+y}$ is separable. The key insight is to rewrite the exponential sum in the exponent as a product: $e^{x+y} = e^x \cdot e^y$. This lets us collect all $x$-terms with $dx$ and all $y$-terms with $dy$.

   Solving the differential equation

   1. Separate the variables.

   $\frac{dy}{dx} = e^x \cdot e^y$

   Rearranging:

   $\frac{dy}{e^y} = e^x \, dx$

   or equivalently,

   $e^{-y} \, dy = e^x \, dx$

   2. Integrate both sides.

   $\int e^{-y} \, dy = \int e^x \, dx$

   The left side gives $-e^{-y}$ and the right gives $e^x$:

   $-e^{-y} = e^x + C_1$

   where $C_1$ is an arbitrary constant.

   3. Rearrange to standard form. Multiply through by $-1$:

   $e^{-y} = -e^x - C_1$

   or equivalently,

   $e^x + e^{-y} = -C_1$

   Renaming $-C_1$ as $C$ (still an arbitrary constant):

   $e^x + e^{-y} = C$

   This is the general solution, so Reason (R) is true.

   Checking the particular solution

   Now examine the proposed particular solution $e^x + e^{-y} = -2$.

   For this to be valid, we need $C = -2$ in the general solution. But notice:

   • $e^x > 0$ for all real $x$ …

   Q.The solution of $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=e^{x+y}$ is:

   (a) $e^{-y}=e^{x}+c$

   (b) $e^{x}+e^{-y}=c$

   (c) $e^{-x}-e^{-y}=c$

   (d) $e^{-x}+e^{-y}=c$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The equation is variable-separable; separating and integrating gives $e^{x}+e^{-y}=c$ — option (b).

   Why separate? Since $e^{x+y}=e^{x}\,e^{y}$, the right side factors into an $x$-part and a $y$-part, so the variables separate cleanly.

   $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=e^{x}\,e^{y}\;\Rightarrow\;e^{-y}\,dy=e^{x}\,dx$
