« Prev Next »

This set of Fourier Analysis and Partial Di erential Equations Multiple Choice Questions & Answers
(MCQs) focuses on “First Order Non-Linear PDE”.

1. Which of the following is an example of non-linear di erential equation?

a) y=mx+c
b) x+x’=0
c) x+x2=0
d) x”+2x=0

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: For a di erential equation to be linear the dependent variable should be of rst 
2 2
degree. Since in equation x+x =0, x is not a rst power, it is not an example of linear di erential
equation.

reduces it to an identity. A solution is also known as integral or primitive.

4. A solution which does not contain any arbitrary constants is called a general solution.
a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The solution of a partial di erential equation obtained by eliminating the arbitrary
constants is called a general solution.

5. Which of the following is a type of Iterative method of solving non-linear equations?

a) Graphical method
b) Interpolation method
c) Trial and Error methods
d) Direct Analytical methods

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: There are 2 types of Iterative methods, (i) Interpolation methods (or Bracketing
methods) and (ii) Extrapolation methods (or Open-end methods).

b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A solution which does not contain any arbitrary constants is called a general solution
whereas a particular solution is derived by substituting particular values to the arbitrary constants
in this solution.

7. Singular solution of a di erential equation is one that cannot be obtained from the general
solution gotten by the usual method of solving the di erential equation.
a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A di erential equation is said to have a singular solution if in all points in the domain
of the equation the uniqueness of the solution is violated. Hence, this solution cannot be
obtained from the general solution.

8. Which of the following equations represents Clairaut’s partial di erential equation?

a) z=px+f(p,q)
b) z=f(p,q)
c) z=p+q+f(p,q)
d) z=px+qy+f(p,q)

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Equations of the form, z=px+qy+f(p,q) are known as Clairaut’s partial di erential
equations, named after the Swiss mathematician, A. C. Clairaut (1713-1765).

9. Which of the following represents Lagrange’s linear equation?

a) P+Q=R
b) Pp+Qq=R
c) p+q=R
d) Pp+Qq=P+Q

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Equations of the form, Pp+Qq=R are known as Lagrange’s linear equations, named
after Franco-Italian mathematician, Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736-1813).

10. A partial di erential equation is one in which a dependent variable (say ‘x’) depends on an
independent variable (say ’y’).
a) False
b) True

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: An ordinary di erential equation is divided into two types, ordinary and partial
di erential equations.
A partial di erential equation is one in which a dependent variable depends on one or more
independent variables.
Example: \(F(x,t,y,\frac{∂y}{∂x},\frac{∂y}{∂t},……)= 0. \)

11. What is the complete solution of the equation, \(q= e^\frac{-p}{α}\)?

a) \(z=ae^\frac{-a}{α}y\)
b) \(z=x+e^\frac{-a}{α}y\)
c) \(z=ax+e^\frac{-a}{α} y+c\)
d) \(z=e^\frac{-a}{α}y\)

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Given: \(q= e^\frac{-p}{α}\) 
The given equation does not contain x, y and z explicitly.
Setting p = a and q = b in the equation, we get \(b= e^\frac{-a}{α}.\)
Hence, a complete solution of the given equation is,

3/31/2021 First Order Non-Linear PDE Questions and Answers - Sanfoundry

\(z=ax+by+c,\,with \, b= e^\frac{-a}{α}\)
\(z=ax+e^\frac{-a}{α} y+c.\)

12. A particular solution for an equation is derived by eliminating arbitrary constants.

a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A particular solution for an equation is derived by substituting particular values to
the arbitrary constants in the complete solution thereby eliminating any arbitrary constants
present in the solution. Such solution represents a particular member of the family of surfaces
given by the complete solution.
