The order of the differential equation of the family of circles with one diameter along the line y = x is

A

3

B

2

C

1

D

None of these

Answer

2

Explanation

Solution

Centre of the circles can be taken as (a, a) and radius as r for some real numbers a and r. Thus, the family is a two parameter family. Hence, order of the corresponding differential equation is 2.
