  1. A the circle whose centre is at the origin
  2. B a straight line passing through the origin
  3. C a rectangular hyperbola
  4. D the parabola whose vertex is at the origin.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) a straight line passing through the origin

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & x d y-y d x=0 \Rightarrow \int \frac{d y}{y}=\int \frac{d x}{x} \\ & \Rightarrow \log y=\log x+\log c \\ & \Rightarrow \log y=\log c x \\ & \Rightarrow y=c x\end{aligned}\)
which is a straight line passing through the origin
