    Consider the differential equation \[y=px+\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}},\]where\[p=\frac{dy}{dx}.\]The  order and degree of the differential equation are

    A)  1, 1                       

    B)         1, 2                       

    C)  2, 1                       

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The given differential equation is \[y=px+\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}},p=\frac{dy}{dx}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[y-px=\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}\] On squaring both sides, we get                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{y}^{2}}+{{p}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}-2pyx={{a}^{2}}{{p}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{y}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}-2\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)xy={{a}^{2}}{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}\] Clearly, this is the differential equation of degree and order 1.
