    Correct
  4. Option D:

    2e2+e128\frac{2 e^{2}+e}{128}

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

(7x4cot⁡y−excosec⁡y)dxdy=x5\left(7 x^{4} \cot y-e^{x} \operatorname{cosec} y\right) \frac{d x}{d y}=x^{5}

x5dydx−7x4cot⁡y=−excosec⁡yx^{5} \frac{d y}{d x}-7 x^{4} \cot y=-e^{x} \operatorname{cosec} y

dydx−7xcot⁡y=−exx5cosec⁡y\frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{7}{x} \cot y=-\frac{e^{x}}{x^{5}} \operatorname{cosec} y

sin⁡ydydx−7xcos⁡y=−exx5\sin y \frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{7}{x} \cos y=-\frac{e^{x}}{x^{5}}

Let −cos⁡y=t-\cos y=t sin⁡ydydx=dtdx\sin y \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d t}{d x}

∴dtdx+7xt=−exx5\therefore \frac{d t}{d x}+\frac{7}{x} t=-\frac{e^{x}}{x^{5}}

∴\therefore I.F. =e∫7xdx=x7=e^{\int \frac{7}{x} d x}=x^{7}

t⋅x7=∫−exx5⋅x7dxt \cdot x^{7}=\int \frac{-e^{x}}{x^{5}} \cdot x^{7} d x

−cos⁡y⋅x7=−∫exx2dx-\cos y \cdot x^{7}=-\int e^{x} x^{2} d x

cos⁡yx7=ex(x2−2x+2)+c\cos y x^{7}=e^{x}\left(x^{2}-2 x+2\right)+c

∵x=1\because \quad x=1 then y=π2⇒c=−ey=\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow c=-e

∴cos⁡y⋅x7=ex(x2−2x+2)−e\therefore \quad \cos y \cdot x^{7}=e^{x}\left(x^{2}-2 x+2\right)-e

When x=2x=2 then cos⁡y=2e2−e128\cos y=\frac{2 e^{2}-e}{128}
