MCQ
If $x = \log p$ and $y = {1 \over p}$, then
  • A
    ${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} - 2p = 0$
  • B
    ${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} + y = 0$
  • ${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} + {{dy} \over {dx}} = 0$
  • D
    ${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} - {{dy} \over {dx}} = 0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} + {{dy} \over {dx}} = 0$
c
(c) $x = \log p \Rightarrow p = {e^x} \Rightarrow y = {e^{ - x}}$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - {e^{ - x}}$ and $\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = {e^{ - x}};\,\,\,$

$\therefore \frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 0$.
