JEE Advanced 2013 · Paper 1, Mathematics question 46

A curve passes through the point (1,π6)\left(1,\frac\pi6\right). Let the slope of the curve at each point (x,y)(x,y) be yx+sec⁡(yx)\dfrac yx+\sec\left(\dfrac yx\right), x>0x>0. Then the equation of the curve is

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A

Homogeneous equation. With y=vxy=vx: v+xdvdx=v+sec⁡vv+x\dfrac{dv}{dx}=v+\sec v, so cos⁡v dv=dxx\cos v\,dv=\dfrac{dx}x and sin⁡v=log⁡x+C\sin v=\log x+C.

Point (1,π6)(1,\frac\pi6): C=12C=\frac12. So sin⁡(yx)=log⁡x+12\sin\left(\dfrac yx\right)=\log x+\dfrac12.
