Letx=x(t)andy=y(t)be solutions of the differential equationsdxdt+ax=0anddydt+by=0respectively,a,bR. Given thatx(0)=2 ; y(0)=1and3 y(1)=2 x(1), the value oft, for whichx(t)=y(t), is :

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given: dxdt+ax=0

dxx=-adt

Integrating both sides,

dxx=-adt

log|x|=-at+c

At t=0,x=2

log2=0+c

logx=-at+log2

logx-log2=-at

logx2=-at

x2=e-at

x=2e-at   ...(i)

It is also given that, dydt+by=0

dyy=-bdt

log|y|=-bt+λ

At, t=0,y=1

0=0+λ

y=e-bt   ...(ii)

According to question,

3 y(1)=2 x(1)

3e-b=22e-a

ea-b=43

For xt=yt

2e-at=e-bt

2=e(a-b)t

2=43t

log2=t×log43

log432=t
