The order and degree of the differential equation [2+(dydx)]5/2=7d3ydx3\left[2+\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)\right]^{5/2}=7\dfrac{d^3y}{dx^3} is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The highest derivative present is d3ydx3\dfrac{d^3y}{dx^3}, so the order is 3.

Squaring both sides to clear the fractional power gives [2+dydx]5=49(d3ydx3)2\left[2+\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right]^5 = 49\left(\dfrac{d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^2.

The power of the highest derivative is 2, so the degree is 2.
