Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is: \((x^2 - x\sqrt{x^2 - 1})dy + (y(x - \sqrt{x^2 - 1}) - x)dx = 0\) Dividing the entire equation by \(dx\) and rearranging, we get: \(x(x - \sqrt{x^2 - 1}) \dfrac{dy}{dx} + y(x - \sqrt{x^2 - 1}) = x\) Dividing by \(x(x - \sqrt{x^2 - 1})\), we…
