Question
I was having a confusion. Please tell am I right that the
integral of (1/m)dm is equal to ln m + c and not ln m + ln c ?

Answer
Hi Ali,
Its the same. In both cases you're adding an arbitrary constant, doesnt matter what or how you write it. But of course in this situation it could be better writing the constant as ln c, this way you could write
ln m + ln c = ln(mc)
