$\displaystyle \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y^{2}-x^{2}}{2 x y}$
Put $\displaystyle y=v x$ and $\displaystyle \dfrac{dy}{dx}=v+x \dfrac{dv}{dx}$
Thus, $\displaystyle v+x \dfrac{dv}{dx}=\dfrac{v^{2}-1}{2 v}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x \dfrac{dv}{dx}=-\dfrac{1+v^{2}}{2 v}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \int \dfrac{2 v}{1+v^{2}} dv=-\int \dfrac{dx}{x}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log\left|1+v^{2}\right|=-\log |x|+\log |c|$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 1+v^{2}=\dfrac{c}{x}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x^{2}+y^{2}=c x$
$\displaystyle \sin x \cos y\, dx+\cos x \sin y\, dy=0$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{\sin x \cos y}{\cos x \sin y}$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \int \tan y\, dy=-\int \tan x\, dx$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log |\sec y|=-\log |\sec x|+\log |c|$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \sec x \sec y=c$
Put $\displaystyle x=0, y=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ we get $\displaystyle c=\sqrt{2}$
Hence particular solution is given by $\displaystyle \sec x \sec y=\sqrt{2}$
