Q. If $x=f(y)$ is the solution of the differential equation $(1+y^2)+\left(x-2e^{\tan^{-1}y}\right)\frac{dy}{dx}=0$, $y\in\left(-\frac\pi2,\frac\pi2\right)$ with $f(0)=1$, then $f\left(\frac1{\sqrt3}\right)$ is equal to :

A) $e^{\pi/12}$
B) $e^{\pi/4}$
C) $e^{\pi/3}$
D) $e^{\pi/6}$
Explanation

[Solution by Dr. Abubacker] $\frac{dx}{dy}+\frac{x}{1+y^2}=\frac{2e^{\tan^{-1}y}}{1+y^2}$. The integrating factor is $e^{\tan^{-1}y}$, giving $xe^{\tan^{-1}y}=e^{2\tan^{-1}y}+C$. $f(0)=1\Rightarrow C=0$, so $x=e^{\tan^{-1}y}$ and $f\left(\frac1{\sqrt3}\right)=e^{\pi/6}$. Answer (4).
