MCQ
The differential equation $y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + x = a$($a$ is any constant) represents
  • A
    A set of circles having centre on the $y$-axis
  • A set of circles centre on the $x$-axis
  • C
    A set of ellipses
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
A set of circles centre on the $x$-axis
b
(b) We have $y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + x = a$or$ydy + xdx = adx$

Integrating, we get $\frac{{{y^2}}}{2} + \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} = ax + c$

or ${x^2} + {y^2} - 2ax + k = 0$,

which represents a set of circles having centre on $x$-axis.
