Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{aligned}
& y=\frac{d p}{d x}+\sqrt{a^2 p^2-b^2}=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)+\sqrt{a^2\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2-b^2} \\
& \therefore y-\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\sqrt{a^2\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2-b^2}
\end{aligned}
\)
Squaring both sides, we write
\(
\begin{aligned}
& y^2+\left(\frac{d^2 y}{d x}\right)^2-2 y \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=a^2\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2-b^2 \\
& \therefore \text { order }=2 \text { and degree }=2
\end{aligned}
