The correct answer is: 18

We know that,

dydx+y2tanx=sinx is a linear differential equation so,

I.F=e2tanxdx=e2lnsecx=sec2x

The general solution will be 

ysec2x=sinxsec2xdx+C

ysec2x=secx+C

yπ3=0C=-2

Hence the particular solution is

ysec2x=secx-2

y=cosx-2cos2x

y=18-2cosx-142

So, the maximum value of yx is 18
