JEE Main 2025 — 23 January, Evening Shift — Question 11

Let x=x(y)\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{x}(\mathrm{y}) be the solution of the differential equation y=(x−ydxdy)sin⁡(xy),y>0y=\left(x-y \frac{d x}{d y}\right) \sin \left(\frac{x}{y}\right), y>0 and

x(1)=π2x(1)=\frac{\pi}{2}. Then cos⁡(x)\cos (x) is equal to :

  1. Option A:

    1−2(log⁡e2)21-2\left(\log _{e} 2\right)^{2}

  2. Option B:

    2(log⁡e2)2−12\left(\log _{e} 2\right)^{2}-1

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    2(log⁡e2)−12\left(\log _{e} 2\right)-1

  4. Option D:

    1−2(log⁡e2)1-2\left(\log _{e} 2\right)

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

ydy=(xdy−ydx)sin⁡(xy)y d y=(x d y-y d x) \sin \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) dyy=(xdy−ydxy2)sin⁡(xy)\frac{d y}{y}=\left(\frac{x d y-y d x}{y^{2}}\right) \sin \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)

dyy=sin⁡(xy)d(−xy)\frac{d y}{y}=\sin \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) d\left(-\frac{x}{y}\right)

⇒ℓny=cos⁡xy+C\Rightarrow \quad \ell \mathrm{ny}=\cos \frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}+\mathrm{C}

x(1)=π2⇒0=cos⁡π2+C⇒C=0ℓny=cos⁡xy\begin{aligned} & x(1)=\frac{\pi}{2}\\ \Rightarrow 0=\cos \frac{\pi}{2}+C \Rightarrow C=0 \\& \ell n y=\cos \frac{x}{y} \end{aligned}

but y=2⇒cos⁡x2=ln⁡2y=2 \Rightarrow \cos \frac{x}{2}=\ln 2

cos⁡x=2cos⁡2x2−1=2(ln⁡2)2−1\begin{aligned} \cos x & =2 \cos ^{2} \frac{x}{2}-1 \\& =2(\ln 2)^{2}-1 \end{aligned}
