The correct answer is: $\log (x y)=-\frac{1}{x+y}+C$
Given, differential equation is
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow \quad(x y)^{-1}\left(x \frac{d y}{d x}+y\right)=(x+y)^{-2}\left(1+\frac{d y}{d x}\right) \\
&\Rightarrow \int(x y)^{-1}\left(x \frac{d y}{d x}+y\right) d x=\int(x+y)^{-2}\left(1+\frac{d y}{d x}\right) d x \ldots(\mathrm{i})
\end{aligned}
$$
Using integral,
$$
\int(f(x))^{n} f^{\prime}(x) d x=\frac{\left.(f(x))^{n+1}\right)}{n+1}
$$
and
$$
\begin{array}{ll}
\text { From Eq. (i) } & \log (x y)=\frac{(x+y)^{-1}}{-1}+C \\
\Rightarrow \quad & \log (x y)=\frac{-1}{x+y}+C
\end{array}
$$
