    The solution of \[\frac{dy}{dx}={{2}^{y-x}}\] is          [Karnataka CET 2000]

    A)                 \[{{2}^{x}}+{{2}^{y}}=c\]         

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

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{{{2}^{x}}}-\frac{1}{{{2}^{y}}}=c\]         

    D)                 \[x+y=c\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Given \[\frac{dy}{dx}={{2}^{y-x}}\]\[=\frac{{{2}^{y}}}{{{2}^{x}}}\] or \[\frac{dy}{{{2}^{y}}}=\frac{dx}{{{2}^{x}}}\]         Integrating both sides, \[\int{\frac{dy}{{{2}^{y}}}=\int{\frac{dx}{{{2}^{x}}}}}\]         \[-{{2}^{-y}}\log 2=-{{2}^{-x}}\log 2+{{c}_{1}}\]                 \[\frac{\log 2}{{{2}^{x}}}-\frac{\log 2}{{{2}^{y}}}={{c}_{1}}\]; \[\frac{1}{{{2}^{x}}}-\frac{1}{{{2}^{y}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{\log 2}=c\].
