Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] In the given equation, $ K.\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}={{[ 1+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{3}} ]}^{3/2}} $
Squaring both the sides, $ K^{2}.{{( \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} )}^{2}}={{[ 1+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{3}} ]}^{3}} $
Degree of a differential equation is the highest power of the highest derivative in the equation when derivatives are expressed as a polynomial. Here, the degree of the differential equation is 2.
