Order and degree of the differential equation ydydx+4dydx=5y\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{4}{\frac{dy}{dx}} = 5 are

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

ydydx+4dy/dx=5y\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{4}{dy/dx} = 5.

Multiply by dydx\frac{dy}{dx}: y(dydx)2+4=5dydxy\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 + 4 = 5\frac{dy}{dx}.

Highest-order derivative is dydx\frac{dy}{dx} (order 1), and the highest power after rationalisation is 2. Hence order = 1, degree = 2.
