Solution

The correct option is B x(I.F)=(I.F.)Qdy+C
Consider the differential equation of type
dxdy+P(y)x=Q(y)
Then, the integrating factor for the above integral is
I.F=eP(y).dy
Hence multiplying the above integral by I.F
eP(y)dy.dx+P(y)xeP(y)dy.dy=eP(y)dyQ(y).dy
d(xe.P(y)dy)=eP(y)dyQ(y).dy
d(xe.P(y)dy)=eP(y)dyQ(y).dy
xe.P(y)dy=eP(y)dyQ(y).dy
x.IF=IFQ(y).dy+C
