(c) M (x, y) + N (x, y)y 0 = 0 is the DE which is both homogenous and exact. Then
M x + N y = c is always a general solution.
Ans. (True.)
(d) The transformation x = u − 1 and y = v + 1/3, convert the DE (2x + 3y − 1) −
4(x + 1)y 0 = 0 into a separable DE.
Ans. (False.) Substitute these
dv
(2(u − 1) + 3(v + 1/3) − 1) − 4(u − 1 + 1) =0

Since constant term doesn’t disappear after translation.
(e) None of the above.
(b) There is no such families of ellipse which will be self orthogonal. Ans. (False.)

Example xa2 + y 2 = 1, a > 0.
(c) The circles x2 + y 2 = 2px intersect the circles x2 + y 2 = qy at right angles.
Ans. (True.) Let d be the distance between center and r1 , r2 are the radii,
then they are orthogonal if
d2 =r12 + r22
(p − 0)2 + (0 − q)2 =p2 + q 2
dθ
(d) The DE in polar form is = f (θ, r), then the orthogonal trajectory to its

Ans. (True.) We know the general solution is given by:
Z
− x p(t)dx
R Rx
p(t)dt
y(x) = e q(x)e dx + C
R Rx
p(t)dt
Therefore c(x) = q(x)e dx + C
(c) The Riccati equation always can transform to a linear equation and have a
singular solution.
Ans. (True.)
(d) The initial value problem
