Solution

Let the surface area of the raindrop be \[A\]
Thus, the rate of evaporation will be given by \[\frac{dV}{dt}\]
As per the given condition, 
\[\frac{dV}{dt} \propto A\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dV}{dt} = - kA\]
Here, k  is a constant. Also, the negative sign appears when V decreases and t  increases.
Now, \[V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\]
Here, `r` is the radius of the spherical drop.

\[\therefore \frac{d}{dt}\left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \right) = - k \times 4 \pi r^2 \]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{4}{3} \times 3\pi r^2 \frac{dr}{dt} = - k \times 4\pi r^2 \]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dr}{dt} = - k \]

It is therequired differential equation.

Verify y = `a + b/x` is solution of `x(d^2y)/(dx^2) + 2 (dy)/(dx)` = 0

y = `a + b/x`

`(dy)/(dx) = square`

`(d^2y)/(dx^2) = square`

Consider `x(d^2y)/(dx^2) + 2(dy)/(dx)`

Integrating, we get

`square + int (sec^2y)/tany  "d"y` = log c

Each of these integral is of the type

`int ("f'"(x))/("f"(x))  "d"x` = log |f(x)| + log c

∴ the general solution is

`square + log |tan y|` = log c

∴ log |tan x . tan y| = log c

`square`

This is the general solution.
