The order of the differential equation (d3ydx3)4+d4ydx4+log⁡(dydx)=0\left(\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^4 + \frac{d^4y}{dx^4} + \log\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Order is the highest order derivative present, irrespective of powers or of the log⁡\log term. Here d4ydx4\frac{d^4y}{dx^4} is the highest, so the order is 4. (The log⁡(dydx)\log\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) term only makes the degree undefined, not the order.)
