The correct answer is: 2-e

dxdy+x=y2

This equation is a linear differential equation of the type dxdy+Px=Q, where P=1 and Q=y2.
Integrating Factor I.F. =e1dy=ey

Now solution of the differential equation is xI.F.=PI.F.dy+C
x·ey=y2·ey·dy=y2·ey-2y·ey·dy

 x·ey=y2·ey-2y·ey+2ey+c

 x=y2-2y+2+c·e-y

Put x=0, y=1

 0=1-2+2+ce

 c=-e

Hence x=y2-2y+2+-e·e-y

On putting y=0 we get x=0-0+2+-ee-0

 x=2-e
