    The slope of the tangent at (x, y) to a curve passing through a point (2, 1) is \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}{2xy}\], then the equation of the curve is [MP PET 2002]

    A)                 \[2({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})=3x\]    

    B)                 \[2({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})=6y\]

    C)                 \[x({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})=6\]      

    D)                 \[x({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}})=10\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}{2xy}\]. Put \[y=vx\] Þ \[v+x.\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{v}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}}{2v{{x}^{2}}}\]         \[\frac{2v}{1-{{v}^{2}}}.dv=\frac{dx}{x}\]         Integrating both sides, \[-\log (1-{{v}^{2}})=\log x+\log c\]         \[-\log \left( 1-\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)=\log x+\log c\]                                        ?..(i)         This passes through \[(2,\,1)\]         \[-\log \,\left( 1-\frac{1}{4} \right)=\log 2+\log c\] Þ \[c=\frac{2}{3}\]         From equation (i), \[\log \left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}} \right)=\log xc\]                 \[2\,({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})=3x\].
