JEE Advanced 2015 · Differential Equations

Consider the family of all circles whose centers lie on the straight line y=xy=x. If this family of circle is represented by the differential equation Py′′+Qy′+1=0Py''+Qy'+1=0, where P,QP,Q are functions of x,yx,y and y′y' (here y′=dydx,y′′=d2ydx2y'=\frac{dy}{dx},y''=\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}), then which of the following statements is (are) true?

Answers: B. P=y−xP=y-x · C. P+Q=1−x+y+y′+(y′)2P+Q=1-x+y+y'+(y')^{2}
