The order of the differential equation | Class 12 Mathematics Chapter Differential Equations, Differential Equations NCERT Solutions

Question:

The order of the differential equation

\begin{align}2x^2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\;- \;3\frac{dy}{dx}\;+ y=\;0\end{align}

is (A) 2 (B) 1 (C) 0 (D) not defined

Answer:

\begin{align}2x^2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\;- \;3\frac{dy}{dx}\;+ y=\;0\end{align}

The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is

\begin{align}\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\end{align}

Therefore, its order is two.

Hence, the correct answer is A.
