Q115 / 170 · Manipal (MET) 2015 · Mathematics

Order and degree of a differential equation $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\left\{y+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right\}^{1 / 4}$ are

  • A
    4 and 2
  • B
    1 and 2
  • C
    1 and 4
  • Correct answer
    D
    2 and 4

Solution

The given differential equation can be written as $\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}\right)^4=\left\{y+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right\}$ Clearly, its order and degree are 2 and 4 respectively.

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