The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
• Use logarithmic differentiation

Step 1:
Take log on both sides
\[ (3+5x)e^{y/x} = x \] \[ \ln(3+5x) + \frac{y}{x} = \ln x \]

Step 2:
Differentiate
\[ \frac{5}{3+5x} + \frac{x\frac{dy}{dx} - y}{x^2} = \frac{1}{x} \]

Step 3:
Simplify
Multiply by $x$: \[ \frac{5x}{3+5x} + \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{y}{x} = 1 \]

Step 4:
Substitute $\frac{y}{x}$
From original: \[ \frac{y}{x} = \ln\left(\frac{x}{3+5x}\right) \]

Step 5:
Solve
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 - \frac{5x}{3+5x} + \ln\left(\frac{x}{3+5x}\right) \] \[ = \frac{3}{3+5x} + \ln\left(\frac{x}{3+5x}\right) \] Final Conclusion:
Option (A)
