Differential Equations Question 187

Question: If m and n are the order and degree of the differential equation $ {{( \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} )}^{5}}+4\frac{{{( \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} )}^{3}}}{( \frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}} )}+\frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}}=x^{2}-1 $ , then

Options:

A) m = 3 and n = 5

B) m = 3 and n = 1

C) m = 3 and n = 3

D) m = 3 and n = 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The highest order $ (m) $ of the given equation is $ \frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}}=3 $ and degree $ (n) $ of the given equation is $ {{( \frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}} )}^{2}}=2 $ . Therefore $ m=3 $ and $ n=2 $ .
