Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(y=x^3-3 x^2 y\)....(i) Differentiate Eq. (i) w.r.t. \(x\) \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =3 x^2-3\left(2 x y-x^2 \frac{d y}{d x}\right) \\ \frac{d y}{d x} & =3 x^2-6 x y+3 x^2 \frac{d y}{d x} \end{aligned}\)…
