  1. A hyperbolas
  2. B parabolas
  3. C straight lines
  4. D circles
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) parabolas

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is
\(2 x \frac{d y}{d x}-y=3\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2 x \frac{d y}{d x}=(y+3)\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2 \int \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{(\mathrm{y}+3)}=\int \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{x}}\) (on integrating)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2 \log (y+3)=\log x+\log c\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad(\mathrm{y}+3)^{2}=\mathrm{cx}\)
which represents a family of parabolas.
