Solution

The correct option is C

P(x)P'''(x)


Explanation for the correct option.

Step 1. Differentiate the given equation twice with respect to x.

Differentiate the equation y2=Px with respect to x.

2yy'=P'(x)⇒y'=P'(x)2y...(1)

Now again differentiate 2yy'=P'(x) with respect to x.

2(y')(y')+2yy''=P''(x)⇒2yy''=P''(x)-2(y')2⇒2yy''=P''(x)-2P'(x)2y2Equation(1)y'=P'(x)2y⇒2yy''=P''(x)-P'(x)22y2

Now multiply both sides of the equation by y2.

2yy''×y2=P''(x)-P'(x)22y2×y2⇒2y3y''=y2P''(x)-P'(x)22⇒2y3y''=P(x)P''(x)-P'(x)22y2=P(x)

So, 2y3d2ydx2=P(x)P''(x)-P'(x)22.

Step 2. Differentiate the equation with respect to x to find the value of 2ddxy3d2ydx2.

Now differentiate the equation 2y3d2ydx2=P(x)P''(x)-P'(x)22 with respect to x.

2ddxy3d2ydx2=ddxP(x)P''(x)-P'(x)22=P'xP''x+PxP'''x-2P'xP''x2=P'xP''x+PxP'''x-P'xP''x=PxP'''x

So the value of 2ddxy3d2ydx2 is PxP'''x.

Hence, the correct option is C.
