Latest Differential Equations MCQ Objective Questions

Differential Equations Question 1:

Let y = y(x) be the solution curve of the differential equation dydx=yx(1+xy2(1+logex)), x > 0, y(1) = 3. Then y2(x)9 is equal to :  

  1. x252x3(2+logex3)
  2. x22x3(2+logex3)3
  3. x23x3(1+logex2)2
  4. x273x3(2+logex2)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : x252x3(2+logex3)

Differential Equations Question 1 Detailed Solution

Calculation: 

dydxyx=y3(1+logex)

⇒ 1y3dydx1xy2=1+logex

Let 1y2=t2y3dydx=dtdx

∴ dtdx+2tx=2(1+logex)

 I.F. =e2xdx=x2

⇒ x2y2=23((1+logex)x3x33)+C

y(1) = 3

y29=x252x3(2+logex3)

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1. 

Differential Equations Question 2:

  1. 0
  2. 3
  3. 2
  4. 1
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 1

Differential Equations Question 2 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Order: The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative appearing in it.

Degree: The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest derivative occurring in it, after the Equation has been expressed in a form free from radicals as far as the derivatives are concerned.

Calculation:

Given:

d2ydx2+asinx=0

For the given differential equation the highest order derivative is 2.

Now, the power of the highest order derivative is 1.

We know that, the degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest derivative

Hence, the degree of the differential equation is 1.

Differential Equations Question 3:

The solution of the differential equation dydx=yϕ(x)y2ϕ(x) is

  1. y=xϕ(x)+c
  2. y=ϕ(x)x+c
  3. y=ϕ(x)+cx
  4. y=ϕ(x)x+c
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : y=ϕ(x)x+c

Differential Equations Question 3 Detailed Solution

Calculation:

Given: dydx=yϕ(x)y2ϕ(x)

dydx=yϕ(x)y2ϕ(x)=yϕ(x)ϕ(x)y.yϕ(x)

Let,yϕ(x)=z     ...1)

dydx=yϕ(x)ϕ(x)y.yϕ(x)=ϕ(x)zϕ(x)z2

Now, y=ϕ(x)z 

dydx=ϕ(x)dzdx+ϕ(x)z

ϕ(x)zϕ(x)z2=ϕ(x)dzdx+ϕ(x)z

z2=dzdx

dx=dzz2

Integrating both sides, we get

x+c=1z      

Butz=yϕ(x)     ...(From (1)

x+c=ϕ(x)y

y=ϕ(x)x+c

Hence, option (4) is correct.

Differential Equations Question 4:

The general solution of the differential equation xdydx=y+xtan(yx) is

  1. sin(yx)=Cx
  2. sin(yx)=Cx
  3. sin(xy)=Cx
  4. sin(xy)=Cy
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : sin(yx)=Cx

Differential Equations Question 4 Detailed Solution

Calculation

Given equation: xdydx=y+xtan(yx)

Divide by x: dydx=yx+tan(yx)

Let y = vx, then dydx=v+xdvdx

Substitute in the equation:

v+xdvdx=v+tan(v)

⇒ xdvdx=tan(v)

⇒ dvtan(v)=dxx

⇒ cot(v)dv=dxx

Integrate both sides:

cot(v)dv=dxx

⇒ ln|sin(v)|=ln|x|+ln|C|

⇒ ln|sin(v)|=ln|Cx|

Remove the logarithms:

⇒ sin(v)=Cx

Substitute v = y/x:

⇒ sin(yx)=Cx

∴ The general solution is sin(yx)=Cx.

Hence option 2 is correct

Differential Equations Question 5:

The function y=f(x) is the solution of the differential equation dydx+xyx21=x4+2x1x2 in (1,1) satisfying f(0)=0. Then 3232f(x)dx is

  1. π332
  2. π334
  3. π6+34
  4. π634
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : π334

Differential Equations Question 5 Detailed Solution

dydx+xx21y=x4+2x1x2

This is a linear differential equation

I.F. =exx21dx=e12ln|x21|=1x2

solution is

y1x2=x(x3+2)1x21x2dx

or y1x2=(x4+2x)dx=x55+x2+c

f(0)=0c=0

f(x)1x2=x55+x2

Now,

3/23/2f(x)dx=3/23/2dx21x2dx (Using property)

=203/2x21x2dx=20π/3sin2θcosθcosθdθ (Taking x=sinθ)

=20π/3sin2θdθ=2[θ2sin2θ4]0π3=2(π6)2(38)=π334

Differential Equations Question 9 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

x = 1

x2 + y2 + z2 = xy + yz + zx

Calculations:

x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx = 0

⇒(1/2)[(x - y)2 + (y - z)2 + (z - x)2] = 0

⇒x = y , y = z and z = x

But x = y = z = 1

so, 10x4+5y4+7z413x2y2+6y2z2+3z2x2

= {10(1)4 + 5(1)4 + 7(1)4}/{13(1)2(1)2+ 6(1)2(1)2 + 3(1)2(1)2}
