Question

The order of the differential equation $2x^2\,\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}-3\frac{dy}{dx}+y=0$ is

• A. 2
• B. 1
• C. 0
• D. Not Defined

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

2

Answer 2

$2x^2\,\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}-3\frac{dy}{dx}+y=0$
The highest order derivative present in the given differential equation is $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$.
Therefore, its order is two.

Hence, the correct answer is A. (2)
