Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
y= & \left(c_1+c_2\right) \cos \left(x+c_3\right)-c_4 \mathrm{e}^{x+c^5} \\
= & \left(c_1+c_2\right) \cos \left(x+c_3\right)-c_4 \mathrm{e}^x \mathrm{e}^{c_5} \\
= & A \cos \left(x+c_3\right)-B \mathrm{e}^x \\
\quad & \ldots\left[\mathrm{~A}=c_1+c_2, B=c_4 \mathrm{e}^{c_5}\right]
\end{aligned}\)
There are 3 arbitrary constants.
\(\therefore \quad\) Order of the given differential equation is 3.
