Eliminating the arbitrary constants \( a \) and \( b \) from \( z = ax + by \) gives

  • A.\( p + q = z \)
  • B.\( px - qy = z \)
  • C.\( pq = z \)
  • D.\( px + qy = z \)

Answer: D

Differentiating partially gives \( p = \partial z/\partial x = a \) and \( q = \partial z/\partial y = b \), so substituting back into the original relation removes both constants:

\[ z \;=\; px + qy. \]

Two constants are removed by two differentiations, and the result is of the first order
