Question

What is the solution of \(y\,dx-x\,dy-y^{2}\cos x\,dx=0\)?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2026 GAT Question Paper (13-Sep-2026)
The correct answer is

\(y=\dfrac{x}{c+\sin x}\)

Dividing the equation by \(y^{2}\) gives \(\dfrac{y\,dx-x\,dy}{y^{2}}=\cos x\,dx\), and the left side is exactly \(d\!\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)\). Integrating both sides gives \(\dfrac{x}{y}=\sin x+c\), so \(y=\dfrac{x}{c+\sin x}\).
