Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Straight line passing through origin.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(x d y=y d x\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{y} d y=\frac{1}{x} d x\)
Integrating both sides,
\(\begin{aligned}
&\quad \int \frac{1}{y} d y=\int \frac{1}{x} d x \\
&\Rightarrow \quad \log y=\log x+\log c \\
&\Rightarrow y=x c \text { which is the equation of line passing } \\
&\text { through origin. }
\end{aligned}\)
