The correct answer is: -18

Given x1-x2dydx+3x2y-y-4x3=0

x-x3dydx+3x2-1y=4x3

dydx+3x2-1x-x3y=4x3x-x3

This is a linear differential equation of the form dydx+Py=Q

Here IF=ePdx=e3x2-1x-x3dx

Let x-x3=tIF=e-dtt

=e-lnt=1t

 IF=1x-x3

So the general solution of the differential equation will be 

y×IF=Q×IFdx

y1x-x3=4x3x-x3×1x-x3dx

=4x3x-x32dx

=4x1-x22dx

Now let I=4x1-x22dx

Substituting 1-x2=z

I=2-dzz2

=-2-1z+c=21-x2+c

Hence the solution of the differential equation becomes 

yx-x3=21-x2+c

At x=2, y=-2

-22-8=21-4+c

13=-23+c

c=1

Hence the particular solution will be yx-x3=21-x2+1

Put x=3

y3-27=21-9+1

y-24=-14+1

-y24=34

y=34-24=-18
