How many arbitrary constants will be there in the general solution of a second order differential equation? Correct Answer 2

The number of arbitrary constants in a general solution of a nth order differential equation is n. Therefore, the number of arbitrary constants in the general solution of a second order D.E is 2.

A chemical solution appears green when the salt concentration is 8 grams per litre (gpl) and red when it is 10 gpl. Pure water was added to the solution of 1 litre of 15 gpl solution till it turned green. Then 125 ml of the green solution is taken out and x grams of salt is added to the green solution to make it red. Another 500 ml of the final solution was taken out and y litres of green solution is added to get a resultant solution of concentration 9.6 gpl.  Assume adding salt doesn’t change its volume and find the ratio of x and y.
