Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Let's understand Order and Degree first:
Order: The highest derivative in the equation
Degree: The power of the highest derivative when the equation is a polynomial in derivatives. If derivatives appear inside log, exponential, or other transcendental functions, degree is not defined.
(A) Degree of:
The derivative appears inside a logarithm.
When derivatives are inside log, sin, cos, or exponential functions, the degree is not defined.
(A) matches with (III) not defined
(B) Order of:
Identify the highest derivative:
has order
has order
The highest derivative is
Order
(B) matches with (IV) 2
(C) Degree of:
This is a polynomial in derivatives (no log or exponential of derivatives).
The highest order derivative is
The power of is
Degree
(C) matches with (I) 1
(D) Order of:
Identify the highest derivative:
has order
has order
The highest derivative is
Order
(D) matches with (II) 4
Final Matching:
(A) (III)
(B) (IV)
(C) (I)
(D) (II)
Correct Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
