Q119 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2018 (25 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics
If and are the degree and the order respectively of the differential equation of the family of all circles in the plane with radius units, then
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Let the coordinates of the centre of the circle be and radius be . Then, equation of circle is
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. , we get
Again differentiating w.r.t. , we get
Now, equation becomes
Substituting the values of from in , we get
Highest order derivative is of order . Therefore, order of differential equation is . Hence,
Highest order derivative is of order whose degree is . Therefore, degree of differential equation is . Thus,
And,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
