B
\frac{d^{2}i}{dt^{2}}+2\frac{di}{dt}+2i(t)=\cos t
C
2\frac{d^{2}i}{dt^{2}}+2\frac{di}{dt}+i(t)=\cos t
D

Question 5 Explanation: 
Applying KVL,
\sin t=i(t) \times 2+L \frac{d i(t)}{d t}+\frac{1}{c} \int i(t) d t
\sin t=2 i(t)+2 \frac{d i(t)}{d t}+\int i(t) d t
Differentiating with respect to t
\cos (t)=\frac{2 d i(t)}{d t}+\frac{2 d^{2} i(t)}{d t^{2}}+i(t)
