The number of arbitrary constants in the particular solution of a differential equation of third order are: (A) 3    (B) 2     (C) 1     (D) 0

A

`3`

B

`2`

C

`1`

D

`0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The number of arbitrary constants in the particular solution of the given differential equation is zero because we put some particular values in the general solution of the differential equation to eliminate all constants.
