Differential MCQS: 1. The Degree of The Differential Equation

1. The degree of the given differential equation is not defined because it is not a polynomial in dy/dx. 2. The solution of the differential equation xdy - ydx = 0 represents a straight line passing through the origin. 3. The given differential equation has one solution when y(1) = 2. 4. The general solution tan-1(x) + tan-1(y) = c represents the differential equation (1 + x2)dy + (1 + y2)dx = 0.

Differential MCQs

1. The degree of the differential equation


2
𝑑2 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 2 𝑑𝑦
(𝑑𝑥 2 ) + (𝑑𝑥 ) = 𝑥 sin (𝑑𝑥 ) is

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) not defined


Solution

𝑑𝑦
(d) : Since, the given differential equation is not a polynomial in 𝑑𝑥. Therefore, its degree is not
defined.

2. Solution of differential equation 𝑥𝑑𝑦 − 𝑦𝑑𝑥 = 0 represents


(a) a rectangular hyperbola
(b) parabola whose vertex is at origin
(c) straight line passing through origin
(d) a circle whose centre is at origin
Solution

(e) (c): We have, 𝑥𝑑𝑦 − 𝑦𝑑𝑥 = 0


𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥
⇒ = .
𝑦 𝑥

Integrating both sides, we get

log 𝑦 = log 𝑥 + log 𝐶


⇒𝑦 = 𝐶𝑥

which is equation of a straight line passing through origin.

𝑑𝑦 𝑦+1
3. The number of solutions of 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥−1, when y(1) = 2 is

(a) none (b) one (c) two (d) infinite

Solution

𝑑𝑦 𝑦+1
(b): We have, 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥−1
𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥
⇒ =
𝑦+1 𝑥−1

Integrating both sides, we get

log (𝑦 + 1) = log (𝑥 − 1) − log 𝐶


⇒ 𝐶(𝑦 + 1) = (𝑥 − 1)
𝑦(1) = 2 i.e., 𝑥 = 1 ⇒ 𝑦 = 2

∴ 3𝐶 = 0 ⇒ 𝐶 = 0
∴ Required solution, 𝑥 − 1 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥 = 1
Hence, only one solution exist.

4. tan−1 𝑥 + tan−1 𝑦 = 𝑐 is the general solution of the differential equation


𝑑𝑦 1+𝑦 2 𝑑𝑦 1+𝑥 2
(a) 𝑑𝑥 = 1+𝑥 2 (b) 𝑑𝑥 = 1+𝑦 2

(c) (1 + 𝑥 2 )𝑑𝑦 + (1 + 𝑦 2 )𝑑𝑥 = 0 (d) (1 + 𝑥 2 )𝑑𝑥 + (1 + 𝑦 2 )𝑑𝑦 = 0

Solution

(c) : We have, tan−1 𝑥 + tan−1 𝑦 = 𝑐


Differentiating both sides w.r.t. 𝑥, we get

1 1 𝑑𝑦
+ ⋅ =0
1 + 𝑥 2 1 + 𝑦 2 𝑑𝑥
⇒ (1 + 𝑥 2 )𝑑𝑦 + (1 + 𝑦 2 )𝑑𝑥 = 0

5. The order and degree of the differential equation


2
𝑑3 𝑦 𝑑2 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 4
( 3
) −3 + 2 ( ) = 𝑦 4 are
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥

(a) 1, 4 (b) 3, 4 (c) 2, 4 (d) 3, 2

Solution

(d): We have,
2
𝑑3 𝑦 𝑑2 𝑦 𝑑𝑦 4
( 3) − 3 2 + 2 ( ) = 𝑦4
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
Clearly, order = 3 and degree = 2

𝐴
6. The differential equation satisfied by y = 𝑥 + 𝐵 is (A, B are parameters)

(a) 𝑥 2 𝑦1 = 𝑦 (b) 𝑥𝑦1 + 2𝑦2 = 0 (c) 𝑥𝑦2 + 2𝑦1 = 0 (d) none of these

Solution

𝐴
. (c) : Given relation is 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝐵
𝐴
Differentiating w.r.t. 𝑥, we get 𝑦1 = − 𝑥 2 ⇒ 𝑥 2 𝑦1 = −𝐴
Again, differentiating w.r.t. 𝑥, we get 𝑥 2 𝑦2 + 𝑦1 2𝑥 = 0 ⇒ 𝑥𝑦2 + 2𝑦1 = 0

𝑑𝑦
7. Integrating factor of the differential equation cos 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑦 sin 𝑥 = 1 is

(a) cos x (b) tan x (c) sec x (d) sin x


Solution

𝑑𝑦
. (c): We have, cos 𝑥 + 𝑦sin 𝑥 = 1
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦 sin 𝑥 1 𝑑𝑦
⇒ +𝑦 = ⇒ + 𝑦tan 𝑥 = sec 𝑥
𝑑𝑥 cos 𝑥 cos 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦
It is linear differential equation of the type 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑃𝑦 = 𝑄 with 𝑃 = tan 𝑥 and 𝑄 = sec 𝑥
∴ I.F. = 𝑒 ∫ 𝑃𝑑𝑥 = 𝑒 ∫ tan 𝑥𝑑𝑥 = 𝑒 log sec 𝑥 = sec 𝑥
