The correct answer is: 3

Given,

(y-2logex)dx+(xlogex2)dy=0, x>1

2xlnxdydx+y=2lnx where logex=lnx

dydx+y2xlnx=1x

Which is linear differential equation,

So, I.F=e12xlnx=lnx

Now, solution of the equation is given by,

y·lnx=lnxxdx

y·lnx=23lnx32+C    ...(i)

Given, eq.(i) passes through point e, 43

So, C=23

Hence, solution of differential equation will be,

ylnx=23lnx32+23

Also given, above equation passes through point (e4, α)

αlne4=23lne432+23

2α=23432+23

α=13×8+13

α=3
