If $\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}}+\sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}=2$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is equal to

If $\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}}+\sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}=2$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is equal to
  1. $\frac{x^2+y^2}{x+y}$
  2. $\frac{x^2-y^2}{x+y}$
  3. $1$
  4. $2$

Solution

We have $\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}}+\sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}=2$ $ \Rightarrow \quad y+x=2 \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{y} $ On squaring both sides, we get $ \begin{array}{cl} & x^2+y^2+2 x y=4 x y \\ \Rightarrow & x^2+y^2-2 x y=0 \\ \Rightarrow & (x-y)^2=0 \Rightarrow y=x \\ \therefore & \frac{d y}{d x}=1 \end{array} $
