Step-by-Step Solution

Given the differential equation: $(1+x^{2})dy+(1-\tan^{-1}x)dx=0$.

We can rewrite it as: $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1-\tan^{-1}x}{1+x^{2}}$

Separating variables, we get: $dy = -\frac{1-\tan^{-1}x}{1+x^{2}}dx$

Integrating both sides:

$\int dy = -\int \frac{1-\tan^{-1}x}{1+x^{2}}dx$

Let $u = \tan^{-1}x$, then $du = \frac{1}{1+x^{2}}dx$

So, $\int dy = -\int (1-u)du$

$y = -\int (1-u)du = -u + \frac{u^{2}}{2} + C$

Substituting back $u = \tan^{-1}x$, we get: $y = -\tan^{-1}x + \frac{(\tan^{-1}x)^{2}}{2} + C$

Given the initial condition $y(0) = 1$, we can find the constant $C$:

$1 = -\tan^{-1}(0) + \frac{(\tan^{-1}(0))^{2}}{2} + C$

$1 = -0 + \frac{0^{2}}{2} + C$

$C = 1$

So, the solution is: $y(x) = -\tan^{-1}x + \frac{(\tan^{-1}x)^{2}}{2} + 1$

Now, we need to find $y(1)$:

$y(1) = -\tan^{-1}(1) + \frac{(\tan^{-1}(1))^{2}}{2} + 1$

Since $\tan^{-1}(1) = \frac{\pi}{4}$, we have:

$y(1) = -\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{(\frac{\pi}{4})^{2}}{2} + 1$

$y(1) = -\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\frac{\pi^{2}}{16}}{2} + 1$

$y(1) = -\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi^{2}}{32} + 1$

$y(1) = \frac{\pi^{2}}{32} - \frac{\pi}{4} + 1$

Correct Answer: $\frac{\pi^{2}}{32}-\frac{\pi}{4}+1$

Pedagogical Audit
Bloom's Analysis: This is an APPLY question because it requires the student to apply their knowledge of differential equations and integration to solve the given problem. They need to manipulate the equation, integrate, and use initial conditions to find the specific solution and then evaluate it at a particular point.
Knowledge Dimension: PROCEDURAL
Justification: The question requires a series of steps to solve, including separating variables, integrating, applying initial conditions, and evaluating the function. These are all procedural steps.
Syllabus Audit: In the context of JEE, this is classified as COMPETENCY. It requires the student to apply the concepts of differential equations to solve a problem, rather than just recalling a formula.
