Marks: 50
1. Answer any five questions from the following: (2 \times 5 = 10)
●​ (a) Test whether the equation (x^2 - ay)dx = (ax - y^2)dy is exact or not.
●​ (b) Find the integrating factor of the differential equation: (x^2 + y^2 + 2x)dx + 2y dy = 0.
●​ (c) Form the differential equation of the family of circles passing through the origin and
having centers on the x-axis.

D = d/dx for Particular Integrals (P.I.).
●​ PDEs: Ensure you can distinguish between elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations
using the discriminant B^2 - 4AC.
