    The order and degree of the differential equation of parabolas having vertex at the origin and focus at (a, 0) where a > 0, are respectively

    A) 1, 1

    B) 2, 1

    C) 1, 2

    D) 2, 2

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] The eq. of parabolas having vertex at (0, 0) & focus at (a, 0), where (a > 0) is: \[{{y}^{2}}=4ax\]                               ? (i) \[2y.\frac{dy}{dx}=4a\] [On differentiating] On putting the value of (4a) in eq. (1) we get, \[2x.\frac{dy}{dx}-y=0\] in order =1 & degree = 1.
