Question:

The differential equation of all conics whose centre lie at the origin is of order

Options:

2

3

4

none of these

Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

The general equation of all conics whose centre lie at the origin is

$a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=1$

Clearly, it has three arbitrary constants. So, the differential equation will be of order 3.
