Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Order: Highest order derivative present in the differential equation.
Degree: Highest power of highest order derivative after removing radicals/fractions. ---

Step 1:
{Analyze (A)}
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=1+\sqrt{\frac{dy}{dx}} \] - Highest derivative: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ → Order = 2 - RHS contains square root of $\frac{dy}{dx}$ but highest derivative still second order - Degree is power of highest derivative → appears as power 1 \[ (A) \rightarrow \text{Order }2,\ \text{Degree }1 \Rightarrow (I) \] ---

Step 2:
{Analyze (B)}
\[ \frac{dy}{dx}+2\frac{dx}{dy}=x \] - Highest derivative is first order - After rearrangement, still first order - Degree = 1 \[ (B) \rightarrow \text{Order }1,\ \text{Degree }1 \Rightarrow (II) \] ---

Step 3:
{Analyze (C)}
\[ y+2\frac{dy}{dx}=\int y\,dx \] Differentiate both sides to remove integral: \[ \frac{dy}{dx}+2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=y \] - Highest derivative: second order → Order = 2 - Highest power = 1 → Degree = 2 \[ (C) \rightarrow \text{Order }2,\ \text{Degree }2 \Rightarrow (IV) \] ---

Step 4:
{Analyze (D)}
\[ \frac{dy}{dx}+y=\log x \] - Highest derivative: first order - Degree = 1 \[ (D) \rightarrow \text{Order }1,\ \text{Degree }1 \Rightarrow (II) \] --- Final Matching: \[ (A)-(I),\ (B)-(II),\ (C)-(IV),\ (D)-(II) \] ---
