D

tan x.tan y = k

Correct Answer :

tan x.tan y = k

Solution :

The correct option is tan x.tan y = k.

Step-by-Step Explanation:
We are given the first-order differential equation:
tan y sec 2 x d x + tan x sec 2 y d y = 0

This equation is a variable separable differential equation. To separate the variables, we divide the entire equation by the product tanxtany:
sec 2 x tan x d x + sec 2 y tan y d y = 0

Now that the variables are separated, we integrate both sides of the equation:
sec 2 x tan x d x + sec 2 y tan y d y = C

To evaluate these integrals, we can use the method of substitution. For the first term, let:
u = tan x
Differentiating both sides with respect to x gives:
d u = sec 2 x d x
Substituting these into the first integral:
1 u d u = ln | u | = ln | tan x |

Applying the exact same substitution logic for the second integral with respect to y, we get:
sec 2 y tan y d y = ln | tan y |

Substituting these results back into our integrated equation, and expressing the constant of integration as lnk for convenience, we have:
ln | tan x | + ln | tan y | = ln k

Using the logarithmic property lnA+lnB=ln(AB), we can combine the terms on the left-hand side:
ln | tan x tan y | = ln k

By taking the exponential of both sides, we eliminate the logarithms:
tan x tan y = k

Thus, the general solution of the given differential equation is indeed tanxtany=k.
