Let y=y(x)y=y(x) be the solution of the differential equation xdydx−sin⁡2y=x3(2−x3)cos⁡2y,x≠0x \frac{d y}{d x}-\sin 2 y=x^{3}\left(2-x^{3}\right) \cos ^{2} y, x \neq 0. If y(2)=xy(2)=x, then tan⁡(y(1))\tan (y(1)) is equal to

  1. Option A:

    34\frac{3}{4}

  2. Option B:

    74\frac{7}{4}

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    −74-\frac{7}{4}

  4. Option D:

    −34-\frac{3}{4}

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

xdydx−sin⁡2y=x3(2−x3)cos⁡2yx \frac{d y}{d x}-\sin 2 y=x^{3}\left(2-x^{3}\right) \cos ^{2} y

sec⁡2ydydx−2tan⁡y⋅1x=x2(2−x3)\sec ^{2} y \frac{d y}{d x}-2 \tan y \cdot \frac{1}{x}=x^{2}\left(2-x^{3}\right)

tan⁡y=t⇒sec⁡2ydydx=dtdx\tan y=t \Rightarrow \sec ^{2} y \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d t}{d x}

dtdx−2tx=x2(2−x3)\frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{dx}}-\frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{x}}=\mathrm{x}^{2}\left(2-\mathrm{x}^{3}\right) (LDE)

I.F. =e∫−2xdx=e−2ln⁡x=1x2=\mathrm{e}^{\int-\frac{2}{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{e}^{-2 \ln \mathrm{x}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}

∴tx2=∫1x2x2(2−x3)dx+C\therefore \frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}=\int \frac{1}{\mathrm{x}^{2}} \mathrm{x}^{2}\left(2-\mathrm{x}^{3}\right) \mathrm{dx}+\mathrm{C}

tan⁡yx2=2x−x44+C\frac{\tan \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}=2 \mathrm{x}-\frac{\mathrm{x}^{4}}{4}+\mathrm{C}

y(2)=0⇒0=4−4+C⇒C=0y(2)=0 \Rightarrow 0=4-4+C \Rightarrow C=0

tan⁡y=2x3−14x6\tan \mathrm{y}=2 \mathrm{x}^{3}-\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{x}^{6}

x=1⇒tan⁡y=2−14=74x=1 \Rightarrow \tan y=2-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{4}
