Question

The differential equation (y'')2 + (y')3 - 3xy' = 2y is of order _____.
Options
A 1
B 2
Correct Answer
C 3
D 4
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative present in the equation.In the given differential equation (y'')2 + (y')3 - 3xy' = 2y:- The term (y'')2 involves the second derivative (y'').- The term (y')3 involves the first derivative (y').- The term -3xy' also involves the first derivative (y').The highest order derivative present is y'' (second derivative).Therefore, the order of the differential equation is 2.

Hint

The order of a differential equation is determined by the highest derivative present in the equation.
