The correct answer is: $x y=\frac{x^4}{4}+c$
$\frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{y}{x}=x^2$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{x} y=x^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad P=\frac{1}{x}, Q=x^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad I F=e^{\int P d x}=e^{\int \frac{1}{x} d x}=e^{\ln x}=x \\ & \Rightarrow \quad y \cdot I F=\int Q \cdot I F d x+C \\ & \Rightarrow \quad x y=\int x^2 \cdot x d x+C \\ & \therefore \quad x y=\frac{x^4}{4}+C .\end{aligned}$
