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
- A4 and 2
- B1 and 2
- C1 and 4
- Correct answerD2 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'.
