A Really tricky problem @Rohith M.Athreya . i forgot taking modulus sign and hence ended with BD . Then when solved using Modulus i got AC But i was too late :P

Yes! that's why i posted :P

Yep!! I saw the title and knew there was something tricky !
In your third line u took, x as positive?

You could take it as negative, it will appear two negative signs (one for u and other for d u ) that will cancel out

@Rohith M.Athreya – Perfect! Thanks. I've edited to be more clear.
The question is overrated I think

or u are too good

No i dont think, But this integration is much easy, and after that Getting the c, And then Putting the Options, we get it

@Md Zuhair – It is very easy indeed and just as easy to miss something
I had it pegged at lvl4 but due to low correct rate, it got readjusted to lvl5
awsome one. Forgotten modulus sign while taking under root .. Really a good question keep posting such stuffs

It was initially lvl 5. But i think it is lvl 4, As The Question is not so tough , Specially the integration
Log in to reply
integration is not tough at all i agree but thing i forgot is to take modulus. otherwise and easy stroke

@Nivedit Jain – It is the common mistake ...

@Md Zuhair – ya it is that s why i liked it as it point out to my common mistake
I took it out as a "plus-minus"
Log in to reply
ya i have seem it but i have done a diffrent way
If I put x= secØ, then...... Well my answer is not matching then.

Yeah I tried that too. But I ended up solving the integral as arcsec(x) which was undefined at -2.

d x d y = x x 2 − 1 1
y = ∫ x x 2 − 1 1 d x
u = x 2 − 1 → x = ± u 2 + 1
d u = x 2 − 1 x d x → d u = ± u u 2 + 1 d x
y = ∫ u u 2 + 1 1 ⋅ u 2 + 1 u d u
y = ∫ u 2 + 1 1 d u
y = arctan ( u ) + C
y = arctan ( x 2 − 1 ) + C
Since it passes through the point ( − 2 , − 2 ) :
− 2 = arctan ( 3 ) + C
− 2 = 3 π + C
C = − 2 − 3 π
So:
y = arctan ( x 2 − 1 ) − 2 − 3 π
Which passes through points ( A ) and ( C ) only.
