JEE Advanced 2025 — Paper 2 — Question 25

Let y(x)y(x) be the solution of the differential equation x2dydx+xy=x2+y2,x>1e,x^{2} \frac{d y}{d x}+x y=x^{2}+y^{2}, x>\frac{1}{e}, satisfying y(1)=0y(1)=0. Then the value of 2(y(e))2y(e2)2 \frac{(y(e))^{2}}{y\left(e^{2}\right)} is \qquad

Answer: 0.75

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

Put y=vx⇒dydx=v+xdvdx\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{vx} \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=v+x \frac{d v}{d x}

D.E.x2(v+xdvdx)+x2v=x2(1+v2)\mathrm{x}^{2}\left(v+\mathrm{x} \frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)+\mathrm{x}^{2} v=\mathrm{x}^{2}\left(1+v^{2}\right)

⇒v+xdvdx+v=1+v2\Rightarrow v+x \frac{d v}{d x}+v=1+v^{2}

⇒xdvdx=1+v2−2v\Rightarrow x \frac{d v}{d x}=1+v^{2}-2 v

⇒∫dv(v−1)2=∫dxx\Rightarrow \int \frac{d v}{(v-1)^{2}}=\int \frac{d x}{x}

⇒−1v−1=ln⁡∣x∣+C\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{v-1}=\ln |x|+\mathrm{C}

⇒xx−y=ln⁡∣x∣+C=ln⁡x+C(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}}=\ln |x|+\mathrm{C}=\ln \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C} \quad\left(\right.

Since x>1e)\left.\mathrm{x}>\frac{1}{\mathrm{e}}\right)

Given y(1)=0\mathrm{y}(1)=0

⇒C=1\Rightarrow \mathrm{C}=1

So xx−y=ln⁡(ex)\frac{x}{x-y}=\ln (e x)

Now y=(e)=e2y=(e)=\frac{e}{2} and y(e2)=2e23y\left(e^{2}\right)=\frac{2 e^{2}}{3}

∴2(y(e))2y(e2)=2⋅e242e23=34=0.75\therefore \frac{2(y(e))^{2}}{y\left(e^{2}\right)}=\frac{2 \cdot \frac{e^{2}}{4}}{\frac{2 e^{2}}{3}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75
