Differential Equations Question 77

Question: Order and degree of differential equation $ \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}={{{ y+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}} }}^{1/4}} $ are

[MP PET 1996]

Options:

A) 4 and 2

B) 1 and 2

C) 1 and 4

D) 2 and 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Making fourth power both the sides, we get the differential equation $ {{( \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} )}^{4}}=y+{{( \frac{dy}{dx} )}^{2}} $

Obviously, order is 2 and degree is 4.
