Here roots of differental equations means roots of auxilary equation
A quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 has real and equal root if and only if D=b24ac=0
a) d2ydx2=4y
Auxilary equation m24=0
and roots are m=2,2 real but bot equal
b) Auxilary equation
16m28m+1=0
a=16.b=8 c=1
D=b24ac
D=6464=0
hence equation 16d2ydx28dydx+y=0
has equal and real roots
c) Auxiliary equation; 3m2+2m=0
has roots m=0,23; real but not equal
d) Auxilary equation: m2=4; No real roots
so, only equation in option B has real and equal roots
Therefore correct choice is option B

a) d2ydx=4y
d2ydx24y=0
r24=0
r2=4r=±2r=2,2
so, roots are real
b) 16d2ydx28dydx+y=0
The auxilliary eq.
16r28r+1=0
(4r1)2=0
4r1=02=14,14
Here root but roots are real.
c) d2ydx2=4y
d2ydx2+4y=0
The auxilliary eq
r2+4=0
r2=4
r=±4
r=±21,1=i
r=±2ir=2i,2i
so, roots are complex
3d2ydx2+2dydx=0
the auxilliary eq
3r2+2r=0
r(3r+2)=0r=0,r=33
root are real
Answer: Option c is correct

Differential equation, characteristic equation a) 16D28D+1=0 b24ac(8)24(16)(2) =6464 =0 Differential equation has two real and equal root b) D2=4D24=0 D=±2 c) 3D2+2D=0 D(3D+2)=0D=0 and D=23 Differential equation has two real roots but not equals d) D2=4 D=±2 So differential equation has complex roots Therefore option (a) is the correct answer a. 16dydx28dydx+y=0
