उत्तर
The equation of the family of circles that pass through the origin (0, 0) and whose centres lie on the y-axis is given by
\[x^2 + \left( y - a \right)^2 = a^2................(1)\]
where a is any arbitrary constant.
As this equation has only one arbitrary constant, we shall get a first order differential equation.
Differentiating equation (1) with respect to x, we get
\[2x + 2\left( y - a \right)\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x + \left( y - a \right)\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \left( a - y \right)\frac{dy}{dx}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{x}{\frac{dy}{dx}} = a - y\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = y + \frac{x}{\frac{dy}{dx}} ................(2)\]
Substituting the value of a in equation (2), we get
\[x^2 + \left( y - y - \frac{x}{\frac{dy}{dx}} \right)^2 = \left( y + \frac{x}{\frac{dy}{dx}} \right)^2 \]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 + \frac{x^2}{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2} = y^2 + 2\frac{xy}{\frac{dy}{dx}} + \frac{x^2}{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x^2 = y^2 + 2\frac{xy}{\frac{dy}{dx}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \left( x^2 - y^2 \right)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2xy\]
It is the required differential equation.
