Match the differential equation (List-I) with its order and degree (List-II)

LIST-ILIST-II
A. d3ydx3+x2(d2ydx2)=0\dfrac{d^3y}{dx^3} + x^2\left(\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right) = 0I. order =3; degree is not defined
B. d3ydx3+y2+edydx=0\dfrac{d^3y}{dx^3} + y^2 + e^{\frac{dy}{dx}} = 0II. order =3; degree=1
C. 1−(dydx)2=(ad2ydx2)1/31 - \left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 = \left(a\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^{1/3}III. order =2; degree=1
D. y=x(dydx)3+(d2ydx2)4y = x\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^3 + \left(\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^4IV. order =2; degree=4

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A: highest derivative y′′′y''' appearing to the first power, so order 33, degree 11 (II).

B: ey′e^{y'} is not polynomial in y′y', so degree is undefined with order 33 (I).

C: cubing both sides makes it polynomial with order 22, degree 11 (III).

D: order 22 and y′′y'' has power 44 (IV).
