in finding the solutions of differential equations by P, Q, method (dy/dx +Py = Q) , when the integrating factor = e ( to the power , integration of P.dx) is it necessary that Q must be in terms of x variable only? Or can terms with y variable be also present?

Yes. Q must be in terms of v variables or a constant. It cannot be in terms of y variables.
