Q71 / 180 · KCET 2013 · Mathematics

If $m$ and $n$ are order and degree of the differential equation $\left(y^{\prime \prime}\right)^{5}+4 \cdot \frac{\left(y^{\prime \prime}\right)^{3}}{y^{\prime \prime \prime}}+y^{\prime \prime \prime}=\sin x$, then

  • A
    $m=3, n=5$
  • B
    $m=3, n=1$
  • C
    $m=3, n=3$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $m=3, n=2$

Solution

Given differential equation is, $\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{5}+4 \cdot \frac{\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}}{\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)}+\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)=\sin x$ $\Rightarrow\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{5} \cdot\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)+4 \cdot\left(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right)^{3}+\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)^{2}$ $=\sin x \cdot\left(\frac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}\right)$ Now, $m=$ order $=$ highest order derivative $=3$ and $n=$ degree $=$ power of highest order derivative $=2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
