Question

The kind of differential equations in which dependent variables depend on one independent variable is called ordinary differential equations

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Statement given in the question is the definition of ordinary differential equation. A differential equation is said to be ordinary if the dependent variables depend only on one independent variable x. If the dependent variable depends on more than one independent variable, then it is called partial differential equation. We will see that in the next session.
