Observe the following statements A. Integrating factor of $\frac{d y}{d x}+y=x^2$ is $e^x$ R. Integrating factor of $\frac{d y}{d x}+P(x) y=Q(x)$ is $e^{\int P(x) d x}$ Then, the true statement among the following is
  1. $A$ is true, $R$ is false
  2. $A$ is false, $R$ is true
  3. $A$ is true, $R$ is true, $R \Rightarrow A$
  4. Both are false

Solution

Statement A Integrating factor of $\frac{d y}{d x}+y=x^2=e^{\int 1 \cdot d x}=e^x$ Statement R $ \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x}+P(x) y & =Q(x) \\ \operatorname{IF} & =e^{\int P(x) d x} \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Both statements $A$ and $B$ are true and statement $\mathrm{R} \Rightarrow \mathrm{A}$
