Here we have-

It contains two arbitrary constants a and c

Differentiate the equation with respect to p, we get-

Or

Now differentiate the equation with respect to q, we get-

Now eliminate ‘c’,

We get

Now put z-c in (1), we get-

Or

Q2) Solve the differential equation-

Given the boundary condition that-

A2)

Here we have-

On integrating partially with respect to x, we get-

Here f(y) is an arbitrary constant.

Now form the boundary condition-

When x = 0,

Hence-

On integrating partially w.r.t.x, we get-
