If $$y = y(x)$$ is the solution of the differential equation $$\frac{5 + e^x}{2 + y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + e^x = 0$$ satisfying $$y(0) = 1$$, then value of $$y(\log_e 13)$$ is:
We start from the given differential equation
$$\frac{5+e^{x}}{2+y}\,\frac{dy}{dx}+e^{x}=0.$$
First divide every term by the factor $$5+e^{x}$$ so that the structure becomes clearer:
$$\frac1{2+y}\,\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{e^{x}}{5+e^{x}}=0.$$
Recall the derivative of a natural logarithm. In general,
$$\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(\ln u\bigr)=\frac1u\,\frac{du}{dx}.$$
Using this, observe that
$$\frac{d}{dx}\left[\ln(2+y)\right]=\frac1{2+y}\,\frac{dy}{dx}$$
and
$$\frac{d}{dx}\left[\ln(5+e^{x})\right]=\frac{e^{x}}{5+e^{x}}.$$
Hence the left‐hand side of our transformed differential equation can be recognised as
$$\frac1{2+y}\,\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{e^{x}}{5+e^{x}}=\frac{d}{dx}\Bigl[\ln(2+y)+\ln(5+e^{x})\Bigr]$$
or, after combining the logarithms,
$$\frac{d}{dx}\Bigl[\ln\!\bigl((2+y)(5+e^{x})\bigr)\Bigr].$$
Therefore the differential equation simply reads
$$\frac{d}{dx}\Bigl[\ln\!\bigl((2+y)(5+e^{x})\bigr)\Bigr]=0.$$
Whenever the derivative of a function is zero, that function must be a constant. So we can write
$$\ln\!\bigl((2+y)(5+e^{x})\bigr)=C,$$
where $$C$$ is a constant. Exponentiating both sides gives an equivalent relation without the logarithm:
$$(2+y)(5+e^{x})=K,$$
with $$K=e^{C}$$ (still a constant).
To evaluate $$K$$ we use the initial condition $$y(0)=1.$$ At $$x=0$$ we have $$e^{0}=1,$$ so
$$(2+1)(5+1)=K\;\Longrightarrow\;3\cdot6=K\;\Longrightarrow\;K=18.$$
Thus the solution connecting $$x$$ and $$y$$ is
$$(2+y)(5+e^{x})=18.$$
Now we substitute $$x=\log_e13$$. Since $$\log_e13=\ln13,$$ we get $$e^{x}=13,$$ and therefore
$$5+e^{x}=5+13=18.$$
Placing this into the relation gives
$$(2+y)\cdot18=18.$$
Dividing both sides by 18 we find
$$2+y=1\;\Longrightarrow\;y=-1.$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
