  1. A one
  2. B infinite
  3. C two

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is a first-order linear separable differential equation: \(\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{y+1}{x-1}\). Separating the variables, we have \(\int \dfrac{dy}{y+1} = \int \dfrac{dx}{x-1}\). Integrating both sides, we get \(\ln|y+1| = \ln|x-1| + C\), which…
