The number of arbitrary constants in the general solution of a differential equation of order 4 and degree 1 is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 4
The general solution of a differential equation contains as many arbitrary constants as the order of the equation. The degree does not affect this count.
The order here is 4, so the general solution has 4 arbitrary constants.
