A curve passes through the point \( \left(1, \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \). Let the slope of the curve at each point \( (\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}) \) be \( \frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}+\sec \left(\frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}\right), \mathrm{x} > 0 \). Then the equation of the curve is

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: \( \sin \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log x+\frac{1}{2} \)

Given slope at (x, y) is

dydx=yx+secyx......i
let yx=ty=xt 

Differentiating this wrt x

dydx=t+xdtdx......ii

Now using equation i and ii, we have
t + x dt dx = t + sec t

dtsect=dxx

Integrating both sides.
costdt=1xdx
sint=lnx+c 

Now Put value of t in above equation.
sinyx=lnx+c.....iii
Given that curve passes through 1π6 so put in above equation.
sinπ6=ln1+cc=12

Now, put the value of c in equation iii
sinyx=lnx+12
