Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Order of a differential equation is determined by the highest derivative present.

Degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest order derivative when the equation is polynomial in all derivatives. If the equation is not polynomial in derivatives, the degree is not defined.


For (A): d2ydx2=edy/dx\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = e^{dy/dx}

The first derivative dydx\frac{dy}{dx} appears inside an exponential function.

The equation cannot be expressed as a polynomial in derivatives.

Degree is not defined → (II)


For (B): (dydx)2+d3ydx3=0(\frac{dy}{dx})^2 + \frac{d^3y}{dx^3} = 0

The derivatives present are dydx\frac{dy}{dx} and d3ydx3\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}.

The highest order derivative is d3ydx3\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}.

Order is 3 → (III)


For (C): d2ydx2+(dydx)2−5x2=0\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + (\frac{dy}{dx})^2 - 5x^2 = 0

The highest order derivative is d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}.

The equation is polynomial in all derivatives.

The power of d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} is 1.

Degree is 1 → (IV)


For (D): dydx+3y=ex\frac{dy}{dx} + 3y = e^x

The highest order derivative is dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

Order p=1p = 1

The equation is polynomial in derivatives, and the power of dydx\frac{dy}{dx} is 1.

Degree q=1q = 1

p+q=1+1=2p + q = 1 + 1 = 2 → (I)


Final Matching:

(A) → (II)

(B) → (III)

(C) → (IV)

(D) → (I)
