### Core Logic
The line Y - y = y'(X - x)$Y - y = y'(X - x)$ intersects the axes to form a triangle.
Let's find the intercepts:
X-intercept (set Y=0$Y=0$): -y = y'(X - x) Rightarrow X = x - fracyy'$-y = y'(X - x) \Rightarrow X = x - \frac{y}{y'}$
Y-intercept (set X=0$X=0$): Y - y = y'(-x) Rightarrow Y = y - xy'$Y - y = y'(-x) \Rightarrow Y = y - xy'$
The area of the triangle bounded by the coordinate axes is:
textArea = frac12 left( x - fracyy' right) (y - xy') = frac-y^22y' + 1$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left( x - \frac{y}{y'} \right) (y - xy') = \frac{-y^2}{2y'} + 1$Linear Differential Equation diagram for Q21 - JEE Main 2024 Evening
### Step 1: Setting up the Differential Equation
Expand the Area equation:
frac12 left[ xy - x^2y' - fracy^2y' + xy right] = frac-y^22y' + 1$\frac{1}{2} \left[ xy - x^2y' - \frac{y^2}{y'} + xy \right] = \frac{-y^2}{2y'} + 1$
Multiply by 2:
2xy - x^2y' - fracy^2y' = -fracy^2y' + 2$2xy - x^2y' - \frac{y^2}{y'} = -\frac{y^2}{y'} + 2$
Cancel -fracy^2y'$-\frac{y^2}{y'}$ from both sides:
2xy - x^2y' = 2$2xy - x^2y' = 2$
### Step 2: Solving the Linear Differential Equation
Rearrange into standard LDE form:
x^2 fracdydx - 2xy = -2$x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} - 2xy = -2$fracdydx - frac2xy = -frac2x^2$\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{2}{x}y = -\frac{2}{x^2}$
Find the Integrating Factor (IF):
textI.F. = e^int -frac2x dx = e^-2ln x = x^-2 = frac1x^2$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int -\frac{2}{x} dx} = e^{-2\ln x} = x^{-2} = \frac{1}{x^2}$
Multiply the LDE by the IF:
y cdot frac1x^2 = int left( -frac2x^2 right) frac1x^2 dx + C$y \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} = \int \left( -\frac{2}{x^2} \right) \frac{1}{x^2} dx + C$y x^-2 = -2 int x^-4 dx + C$y x^{-2} = -2 \int x^{-4} dx + C$y x^-2 = -2 left( fracx^-3-3 right) + C$y x^{-2} = -2 \left( \frac{x^{-3}}{-3} \right) + C$fracyx^2 = frac23x^3 + C$\frac{y}{x^2} = \frac{2}{3x^3} + C$y = frac23x + Cx^2$y = \frac{2}{3x} + Cx^2$
### Step 3: Applying Initial Conditions
Given Y(1) = 1$Y(1) = 1$ (i.e., when x=1, y=1$x=1, y=1$):
1 = frac23(1) + C(1)^2 Rightarrow 1 = frac23 + C Rightarrow C = frac13$1 = \frac{2}{3(1)} + C(1)^2 \Rightarrow 1 = \frac{2}{3} + C \Rightarrow C = \frac{1}{3}$
Thus, the curve is:
y = frac23x + fracx^23$y = \frac{2}{3x} + \frac{x^2}{3}$
We need to find 12Y(2)$12Y(2)$:
Y(2) = frac23(2) + frac2^23 = frac13 + frac43 = frac53$Y(2) = \frac{2}{3(2)} + \frac{2^2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$12Y(2) = 12 left( frac53 right) = 4 times 5 = 20$12Y(2) = 12 \left( \frac{5}{3} \right) = 4 \times 5 = 20$
### Pattern Recognition
Geometrical word problems forming an Area differential equation almost always reduce to a first-order Linear Differential Equation (LDE) or an Exact differential form once you cleanly substitute the axis intercepts.

### Core Logic
Differentiating both sides with respect to x$x$ eliminates the definite integral and leads to a first-order linear differential equation.
### Step 1: Differentiate both sides
Apply differentiation with respect to x$x$ using the Leibniz Rule on the left side, and product rule on the right side:
10 f(x) = 5 f(x) + 5x f'(x) - 5x^4$10 f(x) = 5 f(x) + 5x f'(x) - 5x^4$5 f(x) + 5x^4 = 5x f'(x) implies f(x) + x^4 = x f'(x)$5 f(x) + 5x^4 = 5x f'(x) \implies f(x) + x^4 = x f'(x)$
Letting y = f(x)$y = f(x)$, we rewrite it as:
fracdydx - fracyx = x^3$\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{y}{x} = x^3$
### Step 2: Solve the Linear Differential Equation
The integrating factor (I.F.) is:
textI.F. = e^int -frac1x dx = e^-ln x = frac1x$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int -\frac{1}{x} dx} = e^{-\ln x} = \frac{1}{x}$
Multiply by the I.F. and integrate:
y cdot frac1x = int x^3 cdot frac1x dx = int x^2 dx = fracx^33 + C$y \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \int x^3 \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx = \int x^2 dx = \frac{x^3}{3} + C$
Thus, the general solution is:
f(x) = fracx^43 + C x$f(x) = \frac{x^4}{3} + C x$
### Step 3: Apply Boundary Conditions
Substitute x = 1$x = 1$ into the original integral equation:
10 int_1^1 f(t) dt = 5(1) f(1) - 1^5 - 9$10 \int_{1}^{1} f(t) dt = 5(1) f(1) - 1^5 - 9$0 = 5 f(1) - 10 implies f(1) = 2$0 = 5 f(1) - 10 \implies f(1) = 2$
Now, substitute x = 1$x = 1$ and f(1) = 2$f(1) = 2$ into our general solution to find C$C$:
2 = frac13 + C implies C = frac53$2 = \frac{1}{3} + C \implies C = \frac{5}{3}$
Therefore, the complete function is:
f(x) = fracx^43 + frac5x3$f(x) = \frac{x^4}{3} + \frac{5x}{3}$
### Step 4: Compute f(3)
Evaluate the function at x = 3$x = 3$:
f(3) = frac3^43 + frac5(3)3 = 27 + 5 = 32$f(3) = \frac{3^4}{3} + \frac{5(3)}{3} = 27 + 5 = 32$
### Pattern Recognition
Whenever a definite integral is defined from a constant to the variable x$x$ within an equation, differentiating immediately reduces it to a differential equation. Finding the value of f(a)$f(a)$ at the lower bound is a standard method to get the constant of integration.

### Core Logic
This is a first-order linear differential equation. We calculate the Integrating Factor first to write down the integral solution.
### Step 1: Find the Integrating Factor (I.F.)
Here, P(x) = 2sec^2 x$P(x) = 2\sec^2 x$ and Q(x) = 2sec^2 x + 3tan x cdot sec^2 x$Q(x) = 2\sec^2 x + 3\tan x \cdot \sec^2 x$:
textI.F. = e^int 2sec^2 x dx = e^2tan x$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int 2\sec^2 x dx} = e^{2\tan x}$
### Step 2: Obtain the General Solution
Multiply both sides by the integrating factor:
y cdot e^2tan x = int e^2tan x left( 2sec^2 x + 3tan x cdot sec^2 x right) dx$y \cdot e^{2\tan x} = \int e^{2\tan x} \left( 2\sec^2 x + 3\tan x \cdot \sec^2 x \right) dx$
Let t = tan x implies dt = sec^2 x dx$t = \tan x \implies dt = \sec^2 x dx$. The integral becomes:
int e^2t (2 + 3t) dt = int 2 e^2t dt + 3 int t e^2t dt$\int e^{2t} (2 + 3t) dt = \int 2 e^{2t} dt + 3 \int t e^{2t} dt$
Applying integration by parts for the second term:
3 int t e^2t dt = 3 left[ fract e^2t2 - int frace^2t2 dt right] = frac3t e^2t2 - frac3e^2t4$3 \int t e^{2t} dt = 3 \left[ \frac{t e^{2t}}{2} - \int \frac{e^{2t}}{2} dt \right] = \frac{3t e^{2t}}{2} - \frac{3e^{2t}}{4}$
Summing all parts:
y cdot e^2tan x = e^2t + frac3t e^2t2 - frac3e^2t4 + C = e^2tan x left[ 1 + frac3tan x2 - frac34 right] + C$y \cdot e^{2\tan x} = e^{2t} + \frac{3t e^{2t}}{2} - \frac{3e^{2t}}{4} + C = e^{2\tan x} \left[ 1 + \frac{3\tan x}{2} - \frac{3}{4} \right] + C$y = frac3tan x2 + frac14 + C e^-2tan x$y = \frac{3\tan x}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + C e^{-2\tan x}$
### Step 3: Apply the boundary conditions
Using the initial boundary condition y(0) = frac54$y(0) = \frac{5}{4}$:
frac54 = frac3(0)2 + frac14 + C e^0 implies C = 1$\frac{5}{4} = \frac{3(0)}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + C e^{0} \implies C = 1$
Thus, the complete function is:
y(x) = frac3tan x2 + frac14 + e^-2tan x$y(x) = \frac{3\tan x}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + e^{-2\tan x}$
### Step 4: Compute the final value
Evaluate the function at x = fracpi4$x = \frac{\pi}{4}$:
yleft(fracpi4right) = frac3(1)2 + frac14 + e^-2 = frac74 + e^-2$y\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{3(1)}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + e^{-2} = \frac{7}{4} + e^{-2}$
Now, calculate the requested value:
12 left( yleft(fracpi4right) - e^-2 right) = 12 left( frac74 right) = 21$12 \left( y\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) - e^{-2} \right) = 12 \left( \frac{7}{4} \right) = 21$
### Pattern Recognition
Integration by parts substitution: When integrating terms of the form int e^at P(t) dt$\int e^{at} P(t) dt$ (where P(t)$P(t)$ is a polynomial), substituting the polynomial variable directly simplifies the exponential integration factors cleanly.

### Core Logic
The original paper solution states the structure equation setup as f''(x) = f(x)$f''(x) = f(x)$. Multiply by f'(x)$f'(x)$ on both sides to transform it into a integrable derivative form.
### Step 1: Integrate the derivative identity
f'(x) cdot f''(x) = f'(x) cdot f(x)$f'(x) \cdot f''(x) = f'(x) \cdot f(x)$
Integrate both sides with respect to x$x$:
frac(f'(x))^22 = frac(f(x))^22 + C implies (f'(x))^2 = (f(x))^2 + C'$\frac{(f'(x))^2}{2} = \frac{(f(x))^2}{2} + C \implies (f'(x))^2 = (f(x))^2 + C'$
### Step 2: Find the constant of integration
Use initial conditions f(0) = 0$f(0) = 0$ and f'(0) = 3$f'(0) = 3$:
3^2 = 0^2 + C' implies C' = 9$3^2 = 0^2 + C' \implies C' = 9$
Thus, (f'(x))^2 = (f(x))^2 + 9$(f'(x))^2 = (f(x))^2 + 9$. Given f'(x) ge 0$f'(x) \ge 0$:
f'(x) = sqrt(f(x))^2 + 9$f'(x) = \sqrt{(f(x))^2 + 9}$
### Step 3: Variable Separation and Solution Form
Let y = f(x) implies fracmathrmdymathrmdx = sqrty^2 + 9$y = f(x) \implies \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \sqrt{y^2 + 9}$:
int fracmathrmdysqrty^2 + 9 = int mathrmdx implies lnleft|y + sqrty^2 + 9right| = x + C_2$\int \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\sqrt{y^2 + 9}} = \int \mathrm{d}x \implies \ln\left|y + \sqrt{y^2 + 9}\right| = x + C_2$
Substitute initial condition x=0, y=0$x=0, y=0$:
ln|0 + sqrt9| = 0 + C_2 implies C_2 = ln 3$\ln|0 + \sqrt{9}| = 0 + C_2 \implies C_2 = \ln 3$
Therefore, lnleft|y + sqrty^2 + 9right| = x + ln 3 implies y + sqrty^2 + 9 = 3e^x$\ln\left|y + \sqrt{y^2 + 9}\right| = x + \ln 3 \implies y + \sqrt{y^2 + 9} = 3e^x$.
### Step 4: Compute targeted value
We need to evaluate at x = ln 3$x = \ln 3$:
y + sqrty^2 + 9 = 3e^ln 3 = 3(3) = 9$y + \sqrt{y^2 + 9} = 3e^{\ln 3} = 3(3) = 9$sqrty^2 + 9 = 9 - y$\sqrt{y^2 + 9} = 9 - y$
Square both sides:
y^2 + 9 = 81 - 18y + y^2 implies 18y = 72 implies y = 4$y^2 + 9 = 81 - 18y + y^2 \implies 18y = 72 \implies y = 4$
Thus, f(ln 3) = 4$f(\ln 3) = 4$. Multiply by 9$9$:
9 f(ln 3) = 9(4) = 36$9 f(\ln 3) = 9(4) = 36$
### Pattern Recognition
