Solution

The correct option is B
Not proportional to x

Expanding the given equation, we get

$x y + 4 x = 1$

$Here, x y = 1 - 4 x is not constant. Similarly,$
$\frac{x}{y} = (\frac{1}{4 y} - \frac{x}{4}),$
which is not constant.

$So, y is not proportional to x .$

x - 2 y + 3 = 0

(x + 2) (y - 1) = x y, (x - 1) (y + 1) = x y

x y = log y + c

(x y - 1) \frac{d y}{d x} + y^{2} = 0

y^{2} = 4 x

x y = 2
