Among the options given below, from which option a differential equation of order two can be formed?

Among the options given below, from which option a differential equation of order two can be formed?
  1. All circles passing through origin
  2. All parabolas passing through origin and having focus on x -axis
  3. All the lines passing through the origin
  4. All hyperbolas of the form $\mathrm{x}^2-\mathrm{y}^2=\mathrm{k}^2$

Solution

Equation of circles passing through origin $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y=0$ where $g$ and $f$ are constants So, 2 arbitrary constants $\Rightarrow$ Order of differential equation will be 2 .
