The correct answer is:
Let the coordinates of the centre of the circle be and radius be . Then, equation of circle is
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. , we get
Again differentiating w.r.t. , we get
Now, equation becomes
Substituting the values of from in , we get
Highest order derivative is of order . Therefore, order of differential equation is . Hence,
Highest order derivative is of order whose degree is . Therefore, degree of differential equation is . Thus,
And,
