Why is the answer TRUE TRUE? For the second one it is trivial but for the first one how can we know there will be a unique solution? shouldn't y(x) be required to be lipshitz for that to be true?

This is a linear differential equation with continuous coefficients on its domain. On all $[a,b]\subset(0,\infty)$ the coefficient function $\frac1{x^2}$ is bounded, has a maximum, which is the local Lipschitz constant.
