Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(c_{1} y=\left(c_{2}+c_{3}\right) e^{x+c_{4}}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
&\Rightarrow \quad y=\left(\frac{c_{2}+c_{3}}{c_{1}}\right) e^{c_{4}} \cdot e^{x} \\
&\Rightarrow \quad y=c e^{x} \text { where } c=\frac{c_{2}+c_{3}}{c_{1}} e^{c_{4}}
\end{aligned}\)
Taking log on both sides, we get
\(\begin{aligned}
&\log y=\log \left(c e^{x}\right) \\
&\Rightarrow \quad \log y=\log c+x \log e \\
&\Rightarrow \quad \log y=\log c+x \\
&\text { On differentiating w.r.t.x, we get } \\
&\frac{1}{y} \frac{d y}{d x}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=y \\
&\therefore \text { order }=1
\end{aligned}\)
