CBSE Class 12 · 2020 · Differential EquationsMultiple Choice

The number of arbitrary constants in the particular solution of a differential equation of second order is (are):

(A)0✓ Correct
(B)1
(C)2
(D)3

Answer: (A)

Solution

The general solution of a second-order differential equation contains two arbitrary constants. A particular solution is obtained by using given conditions to fix both constants, so no arbitrary constant remains.
