Q2MathsUnit 9: Differential Equations
Assertion A normal is drawn at a point P(x,y)\boldsymbol{P}(\boldsymbol{x}, \boldsymbol{y}) of a\mathbf{a} curve. It meets the xx -axis and the yy -axis in point AA and BB, respectively, such that 1OA+1OB=1,\frac{1}{O A}+\frac{1}{O B}=1, where OO is the origin. The equation of such a curve passing through (5,4)(\mathbf{5}, \mathbf{4}) is (x1)2+(x-1)^{2}+ (y1)2=25(y-1)^{2}=25 Reason OA=x+ydydx\boldsymbol{O A}=\boldsymbol{x}+\boldsymbol{y} \frac{\boldsymbol{d} \boldsymbol{y}}{\boldsymbol{d} \boldsymbol{x}} and OB=x+ydydxdydx\boldsymbol{O} \boldsymbol{B}=\frac{\boldsymbol{x}+\boldsymbol{y} \frac{d \boldsymbol{y}}{d \boldsymbol{x}}}{\frac{d \boldsymbol{y}}{d \boldsymbol{x}}}

Frequently asked questions

What makes a Differential Equations question "important" for JEE?

Important questions test core concepts that appear frequently across JEE Main and Advanced papers — definitions, standard formulas, and classic problem types.

Which subtopics in Differential Equations are high-weightage?

Key areas include Ordinary differential equations, their order and degree, The solution of differential equation by the method of separation of variables, Solution of a homogeneous and linear differential equation of the type dy/dx + p(x)y = q(x). Prioritise these before moving to edge cases.

How many important questions should I revise?

Revise 30–50 important MCQs per unit in the last month before JEE. Focus on questions you got wrong at least once.

Can I practise only important questions on Goodmarks?
