First order linear differential equation: A differential equation of the form dxdy+P(x)y=Q(x) is called first order linear differential equation.
1. Here we have given,
sin(x)dydx3y=0
dydx3sinx=0
Which is of the form dydx+P(x)y=Q(x),  where  P(x)=3sinx=0  and  Q(x)=0
Hence, the given equation is a first order linear differential equation.

2. Here we have given,
d2ydx2+sin(x)dydx=cos(x)
Since, the given equation consist of second derivative of independent variable y hence it a second order linear differential equation.
Hence, the given equation is not a first order linear differential equation.
