The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{e}$
$\begin{aligned} & \left(1+y^2\right) e^{\tan x} d x+\cos ^2 x\left(1+e^{2 \tan x}\right) d y=0 \\ & \int \frac{\sec ^2 x e^{\tan x}}{1+e^{2 \tan x}} d x+\int \frac{d y}{1+y^2}=C \\ & \Rightarrow \tan ^{-1}\left(e^{\tan x}\right)+\tan ^{-1} y=C \\ & \text { for } x=0, y=1, \tan ^{-1}(1)+\tan ^{-1} 1=C\end{aligned}$
$\mathrm{C}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\tan ^{-1}\left(e^{\tan x}\right)+\tan ^{-1} y=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Put $x=\pi, \tan ^{-1} e+\tan ^{-1} y=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\tan ^{-1} y=\cot ^{-1} e$
$y=\frac{1}{e}$
