JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Differential Equations Question Bank Order and degree of differential equations

  • question_answer
    The order of the differential equation of all circles of radius r, having centre on y-axis and passing through the origin is

    A)                 1             

    B)                 2

    C)                 3             

    D)                 4

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The equation of a family of circles of radius r passing through the origin and having centre on y-axis is \[{{(x-0)}^{2}}+{{(y-r)}^{2}}={{r}^{2}}\]or \[{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2ry=0\]. This is one parameter family of circles, so its differential equation is of order one.
