The general solution of a differential equation is $$y = a{e^{bx + c}}$$
where $$a,\,b,\,c$$ are arbitrary constants. The order of the differential equation is :
A
3
B
2
C
1
D
none of these
Answer :
2
$$y = a{e^{bx + c}} = a{e^c}.{e^{bx}} = k{e^{bx}}.$$
So, there are two arbitrary constants. Hence, the order of the differential equation will be 2.

The differential equation $$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{\sqrt {1 - {y^2}} }}{y}$$ determines a family of circles with-
A
variable radii and a fixed centre at $$\left( {0,\, 1} \right)$$
B
variable radii and a fixed centre at $$\left( {0,\, - 1} \right)$$
C
fixed radius 1 and variable centres along the $$x$$-axis.
D
fixed radius 1 and variable centres along the $$y$$-axis.
Answer :
fixed radius 1 and variable centres along the $$x$$-axis.
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{\sqrt {1 - {y^2}} }}{y} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{ - 2y}}{{\sqrt {1 - {y^2}} }}dy + 2dx = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow 2\sqrt {1 - {y^2}} + 2x = 2c \cr
& \Rightarrow \sqrt {1 - {y^2}} + x = c \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {x - c} \right)^2} + {y^2} = 1 \cr} $$
which is a circle of fixed radius 1 and variable centre $$\left( {c,\,0} \right)$$ lying on $$x$$-axis.

The differential equation $$\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + x.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + \sin \,y + {x^2} = 0$$ is of the following type :
A
Linear
B
Homogeneous
C
Order two
D
Degree two
Answer :
Order two
Given differential equation,
$$\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + x.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + \sin \,y + {x^2} = 0$$
The order of highest derivative $$ = 2$$ and degree $$ = 1.$$

The solution of $$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \left| x \right|$$ is :
(Where $$c$$ is an arbitrary constant)
A
$$y = \frac{{x\left| x \right|}}{2} + c$$
B
$$y = \frac{{\left| x \right|}}{2} + c$$
C
$$y = \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + c$$
D
$$y = \frac{{{x^3}}}{2} + c$$
Answer :
$$y = \frac{{x\left| x \right|}}{2} + c$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \left| x \right| \cr
& \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = x{\text{ for }}x \geqslant 0\,;\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - x{\text{ for }}x < 0\,;\,\int {dy = } \int {x\,dx} \cr
& y = \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + {C_1}......\left( {{\text{i}}} \right) \cr
& \int {dy = } - 1\,x\,dx \cr
& y = - \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + {C_1}......\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr
& {\text{From }}\left( {\text{i}} \right){\text{ and }}\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr
& y = \frac{{x\left| x \right|}}{2} + C \cr} $$

Consider the following statements in respect of the differential equation $$\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + \cos \left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right) = 0$$
1. The degree of the differential equation is not defined.
2. The order of the differential equation is 2.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?
A
1 only
B
2 only
C
Both 1 and 2
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Answer :
Both 1 and 2
Statement 1 : Differential equation is not a polynomial equation in its derivatives. So, its degree is not defined. Statement 2 : The highest order derivative in the given polynomial is 2.
