Solution
Given y2dx+(x2−xy+y2)dy=0
⇒dydx=−y2(x2−xy+y2)...(i)
Now let x=vy⇒v+ydydv=dydx
Now putting in equation (i) we get
⇒v+ydydv=−(v2−v+1)
⇒ydydv=−v2−1
⇒1+v2−dv=ydy
Now Integrating Both side
⇒−∫1+v2dy=∫ydy
⇒−tan−1v=log∣y∣+c⇒−tan−1(yx)=log∣y∣+c
Also this curve passes through (1,1)
⇒tan−11=log∣1∣+c⇒c=−4π
⇒−tan−1yx=log∣y∣−4π
Now putting y=3x and x=α we get
=−tan−13xx=log∣3α∣−4π=−tan−131=log(3α)−4π
=−6π+4π=log∣3α∣
⇒log∣3α∣=12π
