Options:
  • A $\sin \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+\frac{1}{2}$
  • B $\operatorname{cosec}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+2$
  • C $\sec \left(\frac{2 y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+2$
  • D $\cos \left(\frac{2 y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+\frac{1}{2}$

The correct answer is: $\sin \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+\frac{1}{2}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \quad \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{y}{x}+\sec \left(\frac{y}{x}\right) \\
& \text { Put } y=\mathrm{v} x \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\mathrm{v}+x \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{d} x} \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{v}+x \frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{d} x}=\mathrm{v}+\sec \mathrm{v} \\
& \quad \Rightarrow \cos \mathrm{v} \mathrm{dv}=\frac{1}{x} \mathrm{~d} x
\end{aligned}
$$

Integrating both sides, we get
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \sin \mathrm{V}=\log (x)+\mathrm{c} \\
& \Rightarrow \sin \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+\mathrm{c}
\end{aligned}
$$

The curve passes through $\left(1, \frac{\pi}{6}\right)$.
$$
\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\log (1)+c \Rightarrow c=\frac{1}{2}
$$
$\therefore \quad$ Equation (ii) becomes
$$
\sin \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log (x)+\frac{1}{2}
$$
