Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y^{\prime \prime}-2 p y^{\prime}+p^2 y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, family of curve \(y=(\alpha+\beta x) e^{p x}\) On differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. \(x\), we get \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x} & =\beta \cdot e^{p x}+p e^{p x}(\alpha+\beta x) \\ \Rightarrow \quad y^{\prime} & =\beta \cdot e^{p x}+p y \end{aligned} \] [by Eq. (i)] On…
