The correct answer is:
one
Since, $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y+1}{x-1}$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{y+1}=\frac{d x}{x-1}$
After integrating on both sides, we have
$\log (y+1)=\log (x-1)-\log C$
$C(y+1)=(x-1)$
$C=\frac{x-1}{y+1}$
If $x=1$, then $y=2$, so $C=0$
Therefore, $x-1=0$
Hence, there is only one solution.
