The correct answer is: 11+loge2

dydx=yx+y22x2

y-2dydx-1y·1x=12x2

Put -1y=t    1y2dydx=dtdx

  dtdx+1xt=12x2 

This is a linear differential equation,

with Integrating Factor : e1xdx=elnx=x 

So, solution of the linear differential equation is  tx=12x2·xdx+C

  -xy=12lnx+C

 The curve passes through 1,2

 -12=12ln1+CC=-12 

Hence, the particular solution to the differential equation is -xy=12lnx-12 

xy=1-lnx2y=2x1-lnx

f12=2×121-ln12=11+ln2=11+loge2
